About / Biography

Inspired by the Golden Age of Jazz, Italian – American vocalist Jessica De Giudici gives shape to The Red Hot Rags project at the beginning of 2017.

The 5 piece band pays homage to the Ladies of Jazz revisiting the Great American Songbook and tunes made famous by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Julie London to mention a few, providing an approach at once refreshing and faithful to the original style of the Era.

The very spirit of the Golden Age of Jazz is brought back to life through tunes and costumes celebrating all Jazz from the Roaring 20s to the Post WWII with manouche influences; blues contaminations and quotes to the Italian and Mediterranian melodies for a show engaging and enthralling.

From Wedding receptions to Corporate events The Red Hot Rags are the best choice for moment requiring Impeccable and Elegant music.

With over 15 years of experience behind them, this group of adaptable, fun-loving musicians deliver the popular songs of the 1920/40s by the maestros Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, together with modern-day chart-toppers such as “All About The Bass” , “Valerie” and many more.

Adapting seamlessly from 'background music’ to ‘music for dancing’ The Red Hot Rags are the best choice for your event.
