Jazz on the Cliffe // Jeremy Sassoon

Jeremy Sassoon

UK based Jazz & Blues singer pianist Jeremy is one of the UK’s most in-demand singer/pianists. Either solo, or accompanied by his band, he captivates audiences with his natural, soulful voice, and a repertoire of his arrangements of jazz, blues, groove and soul classics.

Jeremy has headlined sell out shows at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club and Pizza Express Soho, London and has a show at the Jazz Café. He has performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival, The Iridium Jazz Club in New York and headlines annually at Berlin’s premier Jazz Club The “A Trane”.

Jeremy also has a 17-piece big band exclusively tributing the music of Ray Charles, and is able to call on the UK’s finest musicians to deliver a great show with vibe and panache, including saxophonist Iain Dixon (BBC Big Band, Michael Brecker) and guitarist Mike Walker (Impossible Gentlemen)

In 2014, he recorded his version of the Marc Cohn song “The Things We’ve Handed Down” which featured on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs and then hit no. 1 in the iTunes vocal download chart.

He has just released his second album “Jeremy Sassoon & Friends Live” in July 2018 recorded live at PizzaExpress Jazz Club, Soho, featuring Berlin drumming legend Michael Kersting (Jaco Pastorius, Chet Baker, Bireli LaGrene, Randy Brecker) and Alexander Bone (BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2014, British Jazz Awards “Rising Star”)

“London Jazz Review” said “It’s a mark of true showmanship when a performer knows when to change the speed or the vibe, taking the audience on an emotional journey, and that is exactly what Jeremy Sassoon did at his sold-out show!”

His reviewers at Ronnie Scott’s described him as “a charming and witty front-man, one of his skills being that he can make the audience feel immediately at ease”

Musician magazine added Jeremy was "A surefire success for any jazz club.... and well-worth checking now as a recording artist... "
