Bryan Ferry records instrumental jazz LP
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 16 October 2012
Marking his 40th year as a studio musician, Bryan Ferry has re-recorded thirteen of his greatest hits – that’s solo and as part of Roxy Music – as ‘roaring 1920s’-style jazz instrumentals. The collection bears the title ‘The Jazz Age’, and is set for release on 26 Nov.
Says Ferry, who co-composed the new arrangements with erstwhile collaborator Colin Good: “After 40 years of making records, both in and out of Roxy Music, I thought now might be an interesting moment to revisit some of these songs, and approach them as instrumentals in the style of that magical period”.
He adds: “Most of the music I listen to nowadays is instrumental and I wanted to let my songs have a different life, a life without words”.
