The Little Lizzy Combo brings '20s and '30s jazz back to life during a Basin Street Regulars live stream on May 23 

There's something undeniably glamorous about The Roaring '20s and the Speakeasy Age of the '30s, and that glamour and excitement is perfectly captured by Lizzy and the Triggermen, dubbed "10-piece jazz sensations" by the LA Weekly and "one of the hottest swing bands in LA" by Good Day LA.

• ANGEL PIPES Stellar jazz vocalist Lizzy Shapiro of Lizzy and the Triggermen will offer a livestream concert with a smaller band dubbed The Little Lizzy Combo through the auspices of the Basin Street Regulars on May 23.

This Sunday, May 23, you won't get the whole band, but you will get frontwoman Lizzy Shapiro in small combo form with Dan Barrett (trombone), Nate Ketner (reeds), Sam Rocha (bass), Gareth Price (drums), and Jason Wanner (piano), billed as The Little Lizzy Combo and streaming live courtesy of the Basin Street Regulars (2 p.m., available on facebook.com/BasinStreetRegulars and YouTube through the pismojazz.com website; donations accepted for this free event at paypal.me/BasinStreetRegulars).

Lizzy and her band, in classic '30s fashion, got their start playing a secret word-of-mouth LA club, but soon they were headlining big clubs like The Wiltern, The El Rey, and The Troubadour. The band's phat and wailing horn section, tight rhythm section, and a brassy and charismatic frontwoman with powerhouse vocals who's dripping with baditude makes this act an utter joy to watch. Lizzy's not just singing, she's putting on a show.

Even more important, the band's originals fit so seamlessly into their repertoire of vintage jazz you'll be hard-pressed to know if you're listening to an obscure cover of the era or one of the band's songs.

This one's not to be missed!
