Jeremy Sassoon’s “Ray Charles Project”
Jeremy Sassoon’s tribute to the music of Ray Charles captures theimagination of Jazz, Blues and Soul audiences alike. The show hasheadlined Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, The Jazz Cafe, PizzaExpress LiveSoho, Wigan International Jazz Festival, Scarborough Jazz Festival andManchester Jazz Festival.
The band made a spectacular appearance onthe main stage at the 2019 Love Supreme Jazz Festival alongside JamieCullum and Lauryn Hill. 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 include 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,)
