About the Event

By popular demand, Jazz-pop band Luminoso returns to PizzaExpress Soho for a special summer show, bringing their signature blend of toe-tapping originals, vintage Italian swing, cabaret charm, and suave reimaginings of Latin and R&B classics. Led by LA-born pianist and songwriter Brian Clemens and Milan-born vocalist Francesca Confortini, one of London's premier jazz vocalists who has shared the stage with Cat Stevens and Rod Stewart, Luminoso have built a devoted following across the UK and Europe, performing at iconic rooms including London's Wilton's Music Hall, Barcelona's Jamboree, Berlin's B-flat, and Istanbul's Nardis Jazz Club. Drawing on the timeless charm of the Great American Songbook, their melodic writing is nostalgic yet fresh, effortlessly familiar, and leaves audiences humming long after the final note. This evening also welcomes special guest Freddie Benedict, Ronnie Scott's vocalist, actor, London vocal jazz veteran, joining Francesca for duets, close harmonies, and a fiery finale. EarMilk calls it "an exuberant triumph that breathes new life into jazz-pop fusion."
