Vitality 5

The 20's has returned, Prima Club is turning back the clock and bringing one of the worlds finest, authentic 1920's bands to our stage here in the heart of Westcliff. Brush off the Baker Boys, get those gloves and feathers ready. This is one not to miss!

Formed in 2015 and initially developing out of a series of informal workshop sessions in South London, the Vitality Five are an all-star quintet dedicated to performing and recording authentic 1920s small-group jazz.

Specialising in the kind of blistering 'hot stomps' inspired by the records of the California Ramblers, Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers and many others, the Five include sensational virtuosi from the UK, USA and Australia.

Since their formation they have appeared at festivals and toured across Britain and Europe, performed live on BBC Radio Three and recorded two albums, the second of which has just been released on VEAC Records.
