Recognised as one of Britain’s top jazz singers, Todd Gordon presents a brand new show which pays homage to the historic musical collaborations in the 1960s between Frank Sinatra and the Count Basie Orchestra. Songs will feature great numbers from the three commercial albums they recorded together, plus a sprinkling of songs with new arrangements in the Sinatra-Basie style that these two giants of jazz and swing never got to record together.
“Doing it his way, the ghost of Sinatra lives on in the work of one of his most polished admirers” -Clive Davis, The Times
“Gordon has made the American songbook his own” -The Guardian.

A wonderful pairing of jazz cabaret supremo, Barb Jungr, and the velvet-voiced Todd Gordon. Barb will perform songs from her acclaimed album, Hymn to Nina including Feeling Good, Just Like a Woman and Lilac Wine. "Classy doesn't begin to sum it up" - Tim Cumming, The Independent. "Jungr's pure, throaty vocals have a fluidity and agility which allow her to pull off the trickiest numbers with graceful ease" - Alison Kerr, Scotland on Sunday.
Barb and Todd have shared a stage on previous occasions and this time Todd focuses on the songwriting talents of Duke Ellington. Todd's hallmark is performing many of the classic numbers alongside forgotten or often-neglected gems that he has a distinct knack for unearthing. "Gordon has made the American songbook his own" - The Guardian.

The two leading British jazz vocalists (both are past recipients of BBC Jazz Awards - among many others) offer a selection of swinging stocking-fillers in their unique duetting style.
