“Jazz and burlesque have a long history together,” says Persé Fanny, who spent years performing burlesque alongside live jazz bands on Bourbon Street, New Orleans. “There’s a playfulness that’s inherent to both. When you get skilled jazz musicians and burlesque performers together, it’s a treat for audiences.”
