Sensational Danish-born singer Sara Oschlag and Pete Long, Director of the Ronnie Scott’s Big Band pay tribute to the 1957 recording session “Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Duke Ellington Songbook”, arranged by Billy Strayhorn. Sara is an effortlessly hip, intelligent interpreter of songs in the jazz tradition, her vocal influences include Sarah Vaughan, Betty Carter, Anita O’Day, Shirley Horn, Cecile McLorin Salvant, and of course Ella Fitzgerald. The music is stunning, the band is swinging, and we wholeheartedly advise you to get a ticket while they are available! With Pete Long on clarinet /sax, Colin Good on piano, Matt Skelton on drums and Marianne Windham on bass.
