Janice Anderson and the Hot Medusa Jazz Band Jazz Band from Santa Monica, CA

Think Ella rafting down a dizzy scat riff, Doris Day crooning praises for the joy of the everyday, Astrud Gilberto whispering crooked tones through the wet Brazilian summer and you'll have a sense of Janice Anderson, the singer. Janice Anderson The Hot Medusa Jazz Band is the perfect Jazz Band to choose for your next elegant affair, wedding, banquet, house party or corporate event. We are world-class jazz musicians based in Los Angeles. Recently featured at LACMA Friday night Jazz and on the exclusive World Ship. We can accommodate a small gathering with a duo or trio, or a larger affair with the bigger sound of a quartet, quintet or sextet. If you enjoy the energy of Gypsy Jazz, the intimate and beautiful ballads of Bill Evans, the creative and rhythmic stylings of Ahmad Jamal and the jump-up-and-dance excitement of Fats Waller's music, you'll love Hot Medusa! While bringing the best of 'straight ahead jazz' to a stage, we interact with our audience and "tell the story" of our American art form by sharing the history of these beautiful songs, and giving each song a new breath of life with our original arrangements.
