"A kind of hot elegant rawness, a wild oxymoron that will make sense with the first listening." -Michael Steinman of Jazz Lives • https://jazzlives.wordpress.com
Based in St. Louis, MO, Miss Jubilee & The Yas Yas Boys play an energetic blend of low-down blues, hokum, and hot jazz from the 1920s and 30s. Their one-of-kind repertoire draws heavily from the female blues singers who helped define the genre. From Bessie Smith and Victoria Spivey, to the more obscure Merline Johnson and Lil' Johnson, Miss Jubilee revives this music with a joy and effortless authenticity. Led by powerhouse vocalist Valerie Kirchhoff, the band is fueled by barrelhouse pianist Ethan Leinwand, bassist Richard Tralles, and a gutbucket horn section led by Kenneth Cebrian (trumpet).
