OH LA LA! French Jazz at its finest!
Oh la la mixes Parisian folk music (musette), French chanson with unforgettable 20s upbeat to 50s cool jazz, film noir/nouvelle vague film music and the occasional rearranged 60s French pop tune as well as original material from their upcoming album.
The dulcet tones of Parisian born Fifi la Mer's voice and the evocative sound of her accordion blended with the talents of Oliver Wilby on clarinet will take you straight back to that little café by the Eiffel tower then, encouraged by the exuberance of Alex Garnett on tenor Saxophone they will transport you to that buzzy jazz club by Pigalle with the cool feel of Simon Picton on guitar and the groove of Julian Bury on double bass.
Oh la la! have been performing over 1200 concerts over the past 10 years in venues up and down the countries including over 800 times at the Brasserie Zedel, many times @Ronnie Scott’s, the Royal Opera House, Wilton Music Hall, the National Theatre, St Martin in the fields, the Ignite, Elgar room @ the Royal Albert hall.
