We are proud to announce Bryan Ferry featuring The Bryan Ferry Orchestra for the Gent Jazz Festival. Bryan Ferry will headline a Special Night on Monday July 15, following concerts of the "greatest man in the universe': Bobby Womack. With Eric Legnini "Sing Twice' the line-up for this day is complete.

Bryan Ferry, the flamboyant musician, has been an icon in pop music for over four decades. He gained international fame with the legendary band Roxy Music and his solo projects. Ferry has always had a soft spot for jazz, and with the help of The Bryan Ferry Orchestra he transformed his own songs to the style of the roaring twenties. At Gent Jazz Festival he will bring music from "The Jazz Age', his solo records and Roxy Music.

Bryan Ferry comments on his passion for jazz: "I started my musical journey listening to jazz, mainly instrumental, and from diverse and contrasting periods. I loved the way the great soloists would pick up a tune and shake it up - go somewhere completely different - and then return gracefully back to the melody, as if nothing had happened. More recently, I have been drawn back to the roots, to the weird and wonderful music of the 1920s - the decade that became known as The Jazz Age."

Tickets are available online and in the different Fnac stores.
