Event Details

Lua Hadar’s jazz without borders blends global styles and languages into a unique jazz voice. Both chanteuse and raconteuse, Lua peppers her cosmopolitan jazz with funny stories, connecting the global dots between her influences and her songs. The concert performance with her band Twist features original compositions and songs from samba to swing in a musical world voyage. Twist members are Jason Martineau on piano, Sascha Jacobsen on bass and Shawn Myers on drums. Lua has charmed audiences in New York, Los Angeles, Europe and Bangkok. Bay Area shows include Yoshi’s Jazz Club, Feinstein’s at the Nikko, and the Fairmont Hotel.
