Swingin' With Strings 2
Debuts At London's Cadogan hall Saturday 19th June 2021 at 7:30pm
The Jazz Repertory Company’s second Swingin’ With Strings concert sees the return of Claire Martin OBE for the launch of her new album Songs and Stories – her first-time collaboration with Jazz Repertory Company regular Callum Au.
Besides being a highly accomplished trombonist Callum is fast making an international reputation as a musical arranger, orchestrator and bandleader. Taking a selection of much-loved standards (including Cole Porter’s I Concentrate on You and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Hello Young Lovers) he has created a musical setting for Claire redolent of past masters such as Nelson Riddle and Billy May whilst keeping his own unique style to the fore.
​
The combination of Claire’s wonderful singing, Callum’s delightful arrangements and the superb playing of the 50-piece orchestra promises another memorable evening of swinging musical magic.
