The Bryan Ferry Orchestra – The Jazz Age – Vinyl LP

Coloured Vinyl, Limited Edition

Immerse yourself in a world where classic art pop meets the wild 20s. “The Jazz Age” reinterprets Bryan Ferry’s Roxy Music and Solo catalogue as an elegant jazz instrumental, presented by the Bryan Ferry Orchestra. From “Virginia Plain” and “Do the Strand” to “Love Is the Drug” and “Avalon” – each title shines in authentic arrangements in the style of the 20s with banjo, clarinet, subdued trumpet, baritone saxophone and double bass, composed by the renowned arranger Colin Good. British jazz greats such as the trumpeter Enrico Tomasso and the saxophonist Alan Barnes bring these timeless melodies to life, while the mono production conjures up the charm of old 78er records. Ferry himself refrains from singing and acts as a conductor and producer. This innovative project arose from his love of jazz and his curiosity about how his songs would sound without singing. Perfect for long-time fans, jazz lovers and design-oriented collectors: “The Jazz Age” offers a new perspective on Ferry’s work, making it an outstanding collector’s item to discover, exhibit and give away.

The album is released for the first time since 2012 as a limited edition on Forest Green Vinyl (1LP) and as a CD.
