The Down for the Count Orchestra returns to Albert Hall, Nottingham for a celebration of a musical icon - Sammy Davis Jr. - in his centenary year.
Enjoy timeless classics such as 'Birth of the Blues', 'What Kind of Fool Am I', 'Me and My Shadow' and of course 'Mr. Bojangles', brought back to life by the instrumentalists and vocalists of the sensational Down for the Count Swing Orchestra – one of the few UK jazz ensembles to feature a string section.
This is not a tribute show, but rather a celebration of Sammy Davis Jr.'s life and music. Compèred by musical director and conductor Mike Paul-Smith, the show will feature anecdotes about Sammy Davis' life, original arrangements of some of Sammy Davis Jr.'s greatest hits, and also the music of some of his contemporaries including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sarah Vaughan.
The Down for the Count Swing Orchestra is one of the UK's leading swing ensembles with performance credits including Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, the London Jazz Festival, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and Twinwood Festival. Join them for this one-of-a-kind celebration of a true musical legend in 2025.
