Event information

Italian London-based singer Germana Stella La Sorsa migrated from Puglia, Italy, in 2017, and quickly established herself on the London jazz scene. “Nudging boundaries as she goes” (The Slow Music Movement) and exploring “the crossroads of many musical components, including story, composition, genre and style as well as instrumentation and effect” (London Jazz News), La Sorsa released her debut album ‘Vapour’ in 2021 on 33 Jazz Records.

Following the success of her first record, the singer melds her disparate influences in her second studio album, ‘Primary Colours’. Praised as “a sure-fire statement of her confident stature in amongst London's top jazz cats.” (Presto Music), La Sorsa’s new work continues to ride the contemporary/avant-garde jazz wave, further exploring the boundaries of improvisation and sound experimentation and drawing upon modern sounds and grooves, from drum’n’bass to Latin music.

At Off the Rails her band consists of Sam Leak (Hammond organ), Tom Ollendorff (guitar), Jay Davis (drums) and special guest Laura Impalomeni (Trombone)
