Strong,Anthony Me And My Radio CD

10 years, 4 albums and over 300 shows since his debut release, Britishßsinger-pianist Anthony Strong has established a reputation as a charismaticßsinger, a swinging pianist and, above all, aßconsummate performer.ßHis new album, 'Me And My Radio', is Anthony's very own 21st centuryßmixtape; a collection of classics - old and new - carefully compiled for thoseßwho share his love of great music, regardless ofßstyle.ßFrom jazz & blues through to motown & soul, songs made famousßby Louis Armstrong, Charlie Chaplin & Ella Fitzgerald sit alongside thoseßby Stevie Wonder & Johnny Cash. And, amongst theseßgems, a sprinkling ofßoriginals which could easily have come from a bygone era.ßBut whilst the repertoire is unashamedly old-school, the treatment isßdecidedly fresh. Ranging from intimate, all the way through to full big bandßand orchestra, this is a record full of colour,ßwarmth and character.ßFollowing in the footsteps of the jazz greats who came before him,ßAnthony honed his craft on stage, performing - to date - more than 300 shows inß26 countries. From LA's Hollywood Bowl in theßWest, to Shanghai Jazz Week inßthe East, as well as many of Europe's leading theatres, jazz clubs andßfestivals. Of course, there have been many highlights along the way, including aßsupport show with the legendary BB King, an appearance on German television, aßfront page on France's biggest dailyßnewspaper, a 60-minute feature onßAmerica's NPR...ßBut his profile today comes not via a major label campaign or a singleßlucky break, but by a decade of touring, performing and, above all,ßentertaining audiences.ßOn 'Me And My Radio' Anthony takes the dynamism of his last album 'OnßA Clear Day' to new heights. With his British charm, intelligent arrangementsßand handpicked repertoire, this is anßundeniably feel-good listen for 2019.
