Spice Jazz Soho Presents: Germana Stella La Sorsa Quartet ft. Tara Minton

After 25 years of solid jazz promoting, as founded by Paul Pace, at the Spice of Life Soho, nurturing upcoming talents as well as established masters of the music, the SpiceJazz Team (Tara Minton and Clement Regert) are excited to relocate their acclaimed operation to the well-appointed and stylish music room of Crazy Coqs.

Italian London-based singer Germana Stella La Sorsa migrated from Puglia, Italy, in 2017 and quickly established herself on the London jazz scene.

“Nudging boundaries as she goes” (The Slow MusicMovement) and exploring “the crossroads of many musical components, including story, composition, genre and style as well as instrumentation and effect” (London Jazz News), La Sorsa released her debut album‘Vapour’ in 2021 on 33 Jazz Records.

Following the success of her first record, the singer melds her disparate influences in her second studio album, ‘Primary Colours’. Praised as “a sure-fire statement of her confident stature amongst London’s top jazz cats” (Presto Music), La Sorsa’s new work continues to ride the contemporary/avant-garde jazz wave, further exploring the boundaries of improvisation and sound experimentation and drawing upon modern sounds and grooves, from drum’ n bass to Latin music.
