Well-dressed jazz punks with a passion for classic and neo soul, JAZZPARTY return to The Count’s to play their RnB inspired tunes with a contemporary bent.
“Essentially we are a dirty beatnik rock n’roll band who play jazz and soul music” – Darcy McNulty, Jazz Party
Well-dressed jazz punks with a passion for classic and neo soul, JAZZPARTY return to The Count’s to play their RnB inspired tunes with a contemporary bent.
With Darcy McNulty’s wailing saxophone leading the horns section, the silver-tongued backing vocals by the jazz boys form the perfect backdrop to the almighty roar of lead lady and soul diva Loretta Miller. This is JAZZPARTY.
After headlining New Years Evie and rousing the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre into a frenzy at Golden Plains, JAZZPARTY took the party West to tastemaker festival Wave Rock. They have also supported New Orleans Grammy nominated jazz-funk band The Hot 8 Brass Band, Lake Street Dive and Lee Fields. This eight-piece party band of extraordinary Jazz and soul musicians are still revelling from the buzz of their debut release ‘Monday Night’ and massive run of summer festivals.
“Never been to New Orleans, but this took me halfway there.” – Richard Kingsmill on the single ‘Drowning’
Led by former saxophonist and songwriter of Clairy Browne & The Bangin Rackettes Darcy McNulty and supreme diva and ex-Rackette, Loretta Miller, JAZZPARTY are an inimitable force. A riot of a rhythm, ‘Monday Night’ boasts epic horn sections and manic keys as well as soulful melodies and heartbreaking vocals.
Singing lead on almost half the songs, soul diva and style icon, Loretta Miller aka “The First Lady of JP” steps into her own on the album, co-writing the single, Talking in Your Sleep and singing lead on almost half the album. Produced by award-winning producer, Steven Schram, Monday Night was recorded live and bares the hallmarks of his dynamic production.
JAZZPARTY recently signed to Remote Control records and released a live recorded EP in September 2020. The EP features a handful of tracks collected over five years of JAZZPARTY’s infamous Monday Night residencies recorded via Open Live at The Evelyn Hotel. “It’s about finding a release and revelling in your darkest places. The kind of songs you can join in on and dance around your room in an ecstatic way.” – Loretta Miller, JAZZPARTY
