Bryan Ferry – The Jazz Age

Bryan Ferry – The Jazz Age

Immerse yourself in a world where classic art-pop meets the wild 20s. "The Jazz Age" reinterprets Bryan Ferry's Roxy Music and solo catalog as elegant jazz instrumentals, presented by the Bryan Ferry Orchestra.

From "Virginia Plain" and "Do the Strand" to "Love Is the Drug" and "Avalon" - each track shines in authentic 1920s-style arrangements featuring banjo, clarinet, muted trumpet, baritone saxophone and double bass, composed by renowned arranger Colin Good. British jazz greats such as trumpeter Enrico Tomasso and saxophonist Alan Barnes bring these timeless melodies to life, while the mono production evokes the charm of old 78rpm records. Ferry himself refrains from singing and acts as conductor and producer. This innovative project was born out of his love of jazz and his curiosity about how his songs would sound without vocals. Perfect for longtime 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, display and give as a gift.

The album is being released for the first time since 2012 as a limited edition on forest green vinyl and CD.
