About the Band
Tenement Jazz band are a traditional jazz band formed in early 2018 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Brought together by their shared love of New Orleans music, and comprising musicians from various corners of Edinburgh’s vibrant jazz scene, they are on a journey of exploration back to the roots of the music that they play.
Their aims are to capture the raw energy and excitement of the early jazz recordings, to find and revive lesser-heard songs and cultivate their own interpretations of these, all in order to captivate experienced jazzers, dancing persons, and uninitiated ears alike.
In their brief existence so far they have performed at Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow Jazz Festivals, collaborated with various musicians via their own Cellar Session residency, and performed their own hit show on the Edinburgh Fringe telling the story of the ‘Red Hot Roots of Jazz’ from turn of the century New Orleans and beyond.

Nanna Carling
The soprano saxophonist, singer and composer Nanna Carling has, through hundreds of live performances in just a few years, made herself widely known for her energetic stage presence, crystal-clear musicality and sparkling charisma.
With inspiration from icons such as Sidney Bechet, Billie Holiday and Johnny Hodges, Nanna stylishly and passionately delivers the musical traditions of jazz to both new fans and already die-hard enthusiasts. Every performance is a real happy pill - with high energy and contagious joy of playing!
