Step into a world where classic art pop meets the roaring 1920s. 'The Jazz Age' reimagines Bryan Ferry's Roxy?Music and solo catalogue as elegant jazz instrumentals, presented by the Bryan Ferry Orchestra. From "Virginia Plain" and "Do the Strand" to "Love Is the Drug" and "Avalon," each track is transformed through authentic 1920s-style arrangements featuring banjo, clarinet, muted trumpet, baritone sax, and double bass, crafted by renowned arranger Colin?Good. Top UK jazz players, including trumpeter Enrico?Tomasso and saxophonist Alan?Barnes, bring these timeless melodies to life, while mono-style production evokes the charm of vintage 78?rpm recordings. Ferry himself steps back from vocals to serve as conductor and producer, curating this inventive project born from his love of jazz and curiosity about how his songs would stand without singing. Perfect for longtime fans, jazz enthusiasts, and design-minded collectors, The Jazz Age offers a fresh perspective on Ferry's catalogue, making it a standout title for discovery, display, and gift-giving.

Drawing inspiration from the shadowy cabarets and smoky jazz halls of late 1920s Weimar Berlin, Bitter-Sweet sees Bryan Ferry and His Orchestra reimagining his solo and Roxy Music catalogue with a sophisticated jazz sensibility. The album features elegant horn and woodwind arrangements, muted trumpet, clarinet flourishes, and a mood of urbane melancholy, transforming classics like "Alphaville," "Reason or Rhyme," and "While My Heart Is Still Beating." Ferry himself provides select vocals on eight tracks, while the remaining songs unfold as instrumental reinterpretations, arranged with the expertise of Colin Good and performed by a full ensemble of seasoned jazz musicians. The album's concept grew from Ferry's work as music consultant on the acclaimed German TV series Babylon Berlin, where several tracks were originally featured, blending cinematic drama with jazz authenticity. Perfect for longtime fans, jazz enthusiasts, and collectors, Bitter-Sweet offers a fresh perspective on Ferry's songwriting, making it a standout title for display, discovery, and gift-giving.
