JAZZ ORCHESTRA OF THE CONCERTGEBOUW & GEORGIE FAME

The name Georgie Fame immediately conjures up his 1960s hits Yeh Yeh and The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde, or the famous band leaders with whom he performed: Van Morrison, Bill Wyman and Jools Holland. Listeners should not forget that Fame is a fantastic jazz vocalist, who has mastered standards, as well as obscure bebop. The British singer has performed with the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw before, with success: ‘Fame proved himself a showman with a solid voice in several Count Basie classics and swinging versions of his number one hits… In smash hits like these the JOC is a pleasure to listen to’ (Volkskrant).
