25-years on from Jivin Miss Daisy’s first concert, their renditions of songs from many great songwriters including Gershwin and Cole Porter, playing a wide range of swing & jazz music, ranging from Duke Ellington and Jimmie Lunceford in the 1920s, through Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman in the 1930s and 40s, to Ella and Basie in the 1950s and early 60s, continue to provide a guaranteed swinging party mood.

Featuring Liz Fletcher, Enrico Tomasso and Simon Thorpe in vocal numbers, along with popular instrumentals and solo spots, the band puts on a wonderful show, with plenty of favourites - and lesser-known gems - from the great songwriters, with original arrangements by bandleader Simon Thorpe, featuring some from the band’s most recent CD, “Rhythm & Blue”.

The band features some of the UK's finest jazz musicians, with credits including Tom Jones, Amy Winehouse, Van Morrison, Wynton Marsalis, Bryan Ferry, Jools Holland, Stacey Kent and BBC Proms favourites the John Wilson Orchestra.
