"...a real blast from the past that keeps you going into the future!"
-- The Village VoiceSOON!!

Lapis Luna brings you the captivating music of 1930s, 40s & 50s jazz with a classic yet one-of-a-kind sound. Their specialty is playing timeless melodies the way they were meant to be heard: vibrant, fun, romantic & cool.

The band includes some of the brightest jazz musicians in NYC who set themselves apart with an authentic presentation of vintage jazz standards, enchanting ballads, and obscure swing era gems. Their style embraces all forms of American music from the first half of the 20th century including hot jazz, early blues, big band, bebop & swing. Added into the sets are first-rate cha-chas, rumbas & bossa nova.

This Brooklyn based band plays at clubs, festivals, cafes, restaurants & private events not only in New York City, but their music has taken them all over the East Coast from Boston, The Berkshires, Burlington, Mystic & Newport to Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, DC, Savannah, Norfolk, Charleston, Raleigh, New Orleans and Memphis.

In New York they’ve performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Brooklyn Art Museum, Museum of Natural History, The Rainbow Room, ‘21’ Club, Small’s, Bryant Park Grill, Blue Water Grill, and over the course of 7 years have played at a myriad of the coolest clubs, lounges & cafes the city has to offer.
