Journey back to the golden era of swing with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Theirs is a world populated by sharp-suited mobsters and high-class dames, and it's an impossibly cool sound which has seen the band's popularity just keep on rising in the three decades since forming in California in 1989. Their catchy name comes from a meeting vocalist and guitarist Scotty Morris had with blues legend Albert Collins, who signed an autograph from 'The Big Bad VooDoo Daddy'!

Michael Feinstein, the multi-platinum-selling, five-time Grammy-nominated entertainer dubbed "The Ambassador of the Great American Songbook," is considered one of the world's foremost interpreters of American standards, especially for Irving Berlin's work. His 200-plus shows a year have included performances at Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House and the Hollywood Bowl as well as the White House and Buckingham Palace in London.

The world's top-selling instrumental artist Chris Botti has charm and talent in spades; the Italian American contemporary jazz trumpeter breathes new life into a range of different genres from American songbook standards to bebop classics by the likes of Miles Davis. Botti is not only a highly skilled musician but a consummate entertainer, with a gleam in his eye his onstage banter calls to mind the performers of jazz's golden age.

Keb' Mo' is a three-time Grammy-winner who is referred to as the "living link" to the Delta Blues of the early 1930s which helped influence much of today's blues music. He keeps his sound contemporary with touches of soul and folksy storytelling. His acoustic-led, basic-to-basics style of blues has gained him many fans. As well as being an accomplished guitarist, Keb' Mo' also plays the banjo, harmonica, steel drums and keyboard.

Pink Martini are the brainchild of Thomas Lauderdale, who in the early 1990s was thinking of running for Mayoral office. But he slowly became frustrated and fascinated by the musical entertainment during political society events. So he formed Pink Martini to address this and make music that appeals to everyone, from liberals to conservatives, all over the world. Over 20 years later, they're still going strong!
