Jeremy Sassoon's Ray Charles Project

 

Featuring hits such as Georgia on my mind, What I'd Say, I Gotta Woman, Hallelujah I Love Her So. "Such an atmosphere made the sold-out crowd applaud wildly for each tune and soak up the infectious feel-good vibe" - London Jazz News

"The vitality and spirit of the music originally created by the 'Genius of Soul' was passionately captured by Jeremy Sassoon's authentic revue"- Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club

 

"…an exceptional alliance of art and entertainment that would bring joy to audiences at any club, festival or party"- Manchester Jazz Festival

Launched at The Manchester Jazz Festival in 2009, Jeremy Sassoon's tribute to the music of Ray Charles captures the imagination of Jazz, Blues and Soul audiences alike. Since then the show has headlined Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, The Jazz Cafe, Wigan International Jazz Festival,

 

Scarborough Jazz Festival and Manchester Jazz Festival.

The late, great Ray Charles produced an immense repertoire of memorable tunes spanning several decades, and singer/pianist Jeremy reflects this with a set that includes Ray Charles classics (Georgia on my mind, What I'd Say, I Gotta Woman, Hallelujah I Love Her So) and some lesser known, but equally compelling musical gems from the catalogue (The Jealous Kind, I Don't Need No Doctor, Hardhearted Hannah).
