Hetty and the Jazzato Band

The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

Due to popular demand and the success of their EP ’La Dolce Vita,’ the band were inspired to record an album which features new arrangements of timeless vintage Italian songs, Italian jazz standards and original compositions.’ Hetty and the Jazzato Band formed in 2015 with three Italian members from Calabria, Rome and Brescia, and two British members from London through a mutual passion for classic vintage Italian songs and jazz. The band is influenced by 1940s Italian jazz groups like Quartetto Cetra, the humor of Renato Carosone, the smooth Italo-American crooners Dean Martin and Louis Prima, the beautiful Neapolitan ballads of Mario Lanza and the sassiness of Italian divas Sofia Loren and Mina Mazzini.
