Naná Rizinni + Ria Moran (EFG Jazz Festival)

A jazz-leaning night at Paper Dress Vintage in Hackney, part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, featuring São Paulo drummer and producer Naná Rizinni alongside singer-songwriter Ria Moran.

Deeper Cuts is a regular live night for jazz-leaning music that gives the genre a twist and fuses it with other styles. This edition, its second at the EFG London Jazz Festival, takes place at Paper Dress Vintage in Hackney, East London, a venue hosting concerts and shows, with curator Karl Bos taking on DJ duties.

São Paulo drummer and producer Naná Rizinni has released four solo albums over the past twenty years and has played festivals including Lollapalooza, SXSW and Primavera. After crossing the Atlantic in 2020, Naná spent two years building EPIBLAST, a progressive electronic jazz album co-written with saxophonist and producer Mark Cake. Her trio pairs Cake with modular synthesist and keys player Lazy H. Naná names Brazilian traditions and UK experimental jazz among her influences, and the live sound centres on drums, sax and synths.

Singer-songwriter Ria Moran, whose debut album Cubico came out a year before this night, opens the bill with a stripped-back set accompanied by Lewis Moody on keys.
