This unique band presents an irresistible blend of jazz and blues with swing and jump-jive styles, generating a highly charged atmosphere and a superbly memorable night for you and your guests.

Led by singer, saxophonist and songwriter Kit, this is a 7-piece band comprising piano, guitar, bass, drums, trumpet and another saxophone modelled on the 40's jump/jive star Louis Jordan. Indeed the swinging tempos, sizzling sax solos and humour of Louis Jordan's songs are equally present in Kit's own critically acclaimed and fresh-sounding material. The band can also play with a 5 piece line-up.

The repertoire embraces Fats Waller to Fats Domino taking in Duke Ellington, T-Bone Walker and Jon Hendricks among others. Although the band takes its inspiration from the 1940s, they play for today's sophisticated jazz audiences. Among the energetic Jitterbugs and Lindy hops, you'll find contemporary instrumentals full of atmosphere. For a change of pace, there are Latin numbers and the funky 'second-line' rhythms of New Orleans. But swinging tempos aimed at the feet are their speciality.

The band has appeared at venues such as The Barbican, The Royal Festival Hall, The 100 Club and The Vortex. They perform at festivals all over Europe and have featured on Radio 2 for Paul Jones' Rhythm & Blues programme, G.L.R. and Jazz FM. They have performed in venues from Islington to Israel, Clerkenwell to County Cork and from Docklands to Deutschland! They also play for Corporate events, private parties and wedding receptions etc.
