Sam Jewison sings Duke Ellington
Fidelio Cafe, EC1R 5BX , [Venue Details]“Renaissance Man in a Jazz World” Sam Jewison returns to Fidelio, casting his gaze over the extraordinary output of an undisputed icon of American jazz: Duke Ellington.
From his beginnings at the Cotton Club during the 1920s Harlem Renaissance, through to his legendary 1956 Newport Jazz Festival performance, and culminating in his twilight years’ creation of the “Sacred Concerts”, Ellington remained at the forefront of jazz throughout his life. His significant contribution to the Great American Songbook includes such timeless songs as “Take the ‘A’ Train”, “I Got It Bad (and That Ain’t Good)”, “Mood Indigo”, “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)”, “Satin Doll”, and many more. Jewison’s vocal prowess and pianistic virtuosity has seen him tour internationally. His kaleidoscopic interpretation of music that inspired such legendary artists as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Oscar Peterson, fuses elements of jazz improvisation and classical music with traditional popular song, resulting in a captivating display of artistry. He headlined the 2020 ReGeneration Festival in Florence and 2021 BBC Radio 3 Christmas Special, playing the award-winning Nevill Holt Opera House in 2022 and the 2024 Rame Lahaj International Opera Festival in Pristina.
