Hot Jazz from New Orleans featuring Adam Hall is this year's version of a similar show the maestro of Jazz performed last year at the Fringe. His band, the Velvet Playboys, have kept it fresh with the playlist being slightly different. The set is mixed in with some classic southern American standards and even a Slim Dusty number that gets jazzed up.

The entire set showcases Hall’s impressive voice range; and the joy, fun and cheekiness he can have with his vocals and trumpet for that matter. His adoring fan-base lap it up.

Hall is primarily a trumpeter and band leader but in this show he belts out some classics jazz stalwarts such as Closer Walk With Thee, Come By Me and a creole favourite Eh La Bas. The magic of Hall is his ability to relate to his audience. He melds comedy and comedic lyrics in songs, to not only make the audience laugh but seduces them with his charm and with those handsome blokes in the Velvet Playboys. Pay particular attention to Felicia No Capacia for comic relief.

The Velvet playboys play a massive role in all of Hall’s metamorphosis-this is not his only performance medium. He shares the limelight with his entire world-class band of journeyman musicians. These guys are next level good.

Mark Turner on saxophone and vocals, he also plays guitar in another show, is the painfully over talented right-hand man to Hall. He even looks a little like Ryan Gosling.

He is more than aptly supported in the brass section by trombonist and sousaphonist Anthony Dodas.

Tim Voutas from Port Macquarie, is an absolute knockout on keyboards and his talents shine out in Come By Me.

Kane Shaw on double bass, who looks like Tom Cruise, and Bronton Ainsworth on “boom boom” hold the entire beat together-and boy what a toe tapping beat it is.

If you want to see a genuine 5-star Fringe show this year, this is it.
