Kevin Fitzsimmons Quintet: Bennett to Buble- The American Songbook at its Best

Running Time: 2 Hours Approx

Charismatic jazz singer Kevin Fitzsimmons takes a break from starring in touring big band concert Sinatra Sequins & Swing - The Capitol Years Live! to bring us his brilliant jazz show, Bennett-To-Buble: The American Songbook At Its Best, a sell-out many times at Ronnie Scott’s. Alongside him is his superlative quartet, described by JAZZWISE Magazine as ‘the cream of UK’s straight-ahead jazz musicians’.

One of the most individual male jazz voices to emerge on UK jazz scene in recent times, Fitzsimmons will be presenting a clever mix of carefully chosen standards covered by Messrs Bennett, Buble & co, deftly restyled with taste and verve. Expect creative mainstream jazz from celebrated players…blending West Coast cool, hard swinging, blues-tinged ballads all in the space of a relentlessly entertaining set. Don’t miss the chance to catch this line-up live in London, always a wonderful evening of top jazz.
