Support from Instant World Orchestra. Jeremy Sassoon’s tribute to Ray Charles and the Giants of Soul captures the imagination of Jazz, Blues and Soul audiences alike. The late, great Ray Charles produced an immense repertoire of memorable tunes spanning several decades, and singer/pianist Jeremy reflects this with a set that include Ray Charles classics (Georgia on my Mind, What I’d Say, I Gotta Woman, Hallelujah I Love Her So) and some lesser known, but equally compelling musical gems from the catalogue (The Jealous Kind, I Don’t Need No Doctor, Hard hearted Hannah,) The show has headlined Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, The Jazz Cafe, Wigan International Jazz Festival, Scarborough Jazz Festival and Manchester Jazz Festival and Jeremy played a storming set for us with his quintet at Seven Arts a couple of years ago.
