There are not many jazz performers who go "on tour" these days, but Birmingham-based singer Lupa is one of them. Aside from gigs further a field during February, she has fitted in a clutch of them in the Midlands and they are all within the next week. She fronts a very classy band which has Alfonso Deidda on piano and saxophone, Roger Inniss on bass, Bryan Corbett on trumpet and Miles Levin on drums.
