In 2008, Lizzie moved back to Australia, (with baby Louis in tow), to form the coolest swing band in town, Jazz Deco!

"Lizzie Scott has the kind of style jazz musicians love - direct and nicely phrased, with no showy tricks.
And you only have to hear her sing to know how well she understands the art of the ballad”
Dave Gelly, MBE, jazz critic of The Observer, London
