The Music
Katy Baker Vocals

Katy Baker leads with the voice, and Legendary Voices is built for exactly that: standards from the Soho Songbook, sung with the phrasing and restraint the golden age of vocal jazz demands rather than showing off around it. It's one of the Soho Jazz Festival bookings that rewards close listening — a small band behind her doing just enough to hold the tune in place while she does the real work of shaping it, line by line. On Archer Street, in a room built for exactly this kind of set, expect the songbook treated with real care rather than nostalgia alone.

The headline slot of the night, doors from 19:30 to 20:00.

The Stage
Archer Street3 Archer Street, London W1D 7AP

The cocktail bar on Archer Street where the staff sing. A room with performance already built into its DNA, which makes it the natural home for the festival’s vocal programme.

The Vibe
Legendary Voices

The glamorous crooners, divas and vocalists leading the scene today, saluting the ones who set the standard: Sinatra, Ella, Dean. Every song comes from the Soho Songbook, and only the best make it in, written in Soho, Paris, Berlin, New York, Vegas and Hollywood.
