Lydia James Duo

With over two decades of experience performing in the West End and internationally, Lydia now returns to her jazz roots, showcasing her distinctive vocals across the live music scene in London and the South East. Renowned for her rich, velvety tones and signature style, Lydia brings sophistication, ease, and warmth to create a relaxed ambience that perfectly complements any occasion. Lydia works with a small number of brilliant pianists, including Luke Lane and Eugene Portman. Lydia’s repertoire draws inspiration from across the jazz spectrum—from timeless legends like Carmen McRae, Julie London and Sarah Vaughan, to modern influences such as Samara Joy and Stella Cole. Highlights include: When I Fall in Love, S’Wonderful, Honeysuckle Rose, The Nearness of You, The Way You Look Tonight, Cheek to Cheek, L-O-V-E, The Very Thought of You and Crazy He Calls Me.
