Jazz International Presents Todd Gordon & The Marcus Pope Big Band: The Sinatra-Basie Sessions Revisited

Wednesday 25th June 2008, 7.30pm

Old Fruitmarket

Candleriggs

Please Note: This is a past event event.

Recognised as one of Britain’s top jazz singers, Todd Gordon presents a brand new show which pays homage to the historic musical collaborations in the 1960s between Frank Sinatra and the Count Basie Orchestra.

Songs will feature great numbers from the three commercial albums they recorded together, plus a sprinkling of songs with new arrangements in the Sinatra-Basie style that these two giants of jazz and swing never got to record together.

Scotland's newest concert promoter, Jazz International is proud to present its first programme of events. We hope that the eclectic series of concerts we have planned will appeal not only to jazz fans, but also to people who love all kinds of good music.
