About the show

New show! Internationally respected musicians – French pianist Mathieu Meyer, Colombian guitarist Pablo Lopez and Scottish-American vocalist Ali Affleck invite you to step into the underground Prohibition era of New York. Steamy blues and fiery hot jazz, this passionate celebration brings to life the songs of the great vintage blues belters alongside the irresistible music of the 'King of New York,' Fats Waller. With fun facts and humour, a five-star, joyful masterclass in grassroots jazz awaits! 'Vivacious stage presence' (Herald). 'Not a household name yet – soon will be' (BBC Sounds).
