Luminoso is a London-based jazz quintet offering a vibrant fusion of original compositions and reimagined standards, blending jazz, Latin, and R&B influences. Having performed at renowned UK venues such as Pizza Express Soho, Hampstead Jazz Club, Peggy’s Skylight, and Wilton’s Music Hall, the band has also made waves internationally, with a sold-out performance at Nardis Jazz Club in Istanbul and recent appearances at jazz clubs from Dublin to Barcelona. Luminoso has firmly established itself as a must-see act on the international jazz scene.
Led by internationally acclaimed pianist and arranger Brian Clemens and featuring the powerhouse vocals of Francesca Confortini (who has performed with artists such as Cat Stevens and Rod Stewart), the duo creates infectious melodies that capture the timeless charm of the Great American Songbook. True to their name, meaning “bright” in Italian, Luminoso takes listeners on an exhilarating musical journey through diverse styles.
