Tony Jacobs and the Martin Litton Quintet
A Touch of Stardust
Tony’s new show is A TOUCH OF STARDUST in which he celebrates wonderful songwriters and performers such as George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Louis Armstrong, Fred Astaire, Hoagy Carmichael, ‘Fats’ Waller, Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, Al Jolson and many more.
Timeless songs and melodies include ‘What A Wonderful World’, ‘Puttin’ On The Ritz’, ‘I Love Paris’, ‘Chattanooga Choo-Choo’, ‘Skylark’, ‘No Strings’, ‘Hello Dolly’, ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’, ‘When You’re Smiling’, plus a few surprises – all interspersed with Tony’s informative and often hilarious anecdotes.
Tony is accompanied by the superb Martin Litton Quintet. Martin is an internationally renowned pianist, arranger, and bandleader who has worked and recorded with legendary British and American musicians, including Humphrey Lyttleton, Kenny Ball, and Harry Gold (remember him??)
Martin’s musicians include some of the UK’s finest: Paul Morgan on double bass, Jeff Lardner on drums, Simon Picton on guitar and Sue Greenway on saxophone and clarinet.
A TOUCH OF STARDUST – a dazzling celebration of music & song!
