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.

The album is being reissued for the first time since 2012 on limited edition Forest Green colour 1LP vinyl and a 1CD format.
