About
'The Queen of Swing!’ – Ian Shaw, (BBC Jazz Awards winner Best Vocalist 2004 & 2007)
American jazz singer, recording artist and Queen of the Vintage Vocals Kai Hoffman has been resident at Ronnie Scott’s in London – one of the oldest jazz clubs in the world - since 2008 with her fabulous swing and jump jive band, Kai’s Cats, where she hosts their monthly club night, Kai’s ‘Live & Let Jive.’ Also a talented compere and radio DJ, Kai is thrilled to have weekly residencies at night clubs around London, and her very own radio show, also called ‘Live & Let Jive’, on Ronnie Scott’s Radio (listen at www.ronniescotts.co.uk). Since 2010, Kai has had the pleasure of working with Ronnie Scott’s Best Band winners, Ray Gelato and The Giants – with whom she has just released a brand new album, Hey Boy! Hey Girl! Kai, Ray and the Giants will be touring the UK and various European destinations from 2011! With venues ranging from the Sheraton Hotel in Bangladesh to the Royal Albert Hall under her belt – with Ronnie Scott’s Club, The 606 Club, The Vortex, The 100 Club and The Jazz Café (as well as theatres, venues and numerous private members clubs around UK and Europe) in between – Kai has developed a truly authentic vocal style, reminiscent of the greatest jazz singers of the 20th Century.
