That Holiday Feelin’

Just over Wandsworth Bridge, Sands End Arts and Community Centre will be hosting a night dedicated to singer Joe Williams. Featuring some of the most highly-respected musicians in London and Europe, this band is designed to showcase the multitude of styles and colours which Joe performed and recorded throughout his career, ranging from his sensitive and operatic small-group albums with the likes of Harry ‘Sweets’ Edison, George Shearing, as well as his rousing bluesy hits with Count Basie, the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, and many others.

In this evening’s show, the material comes from Joe Williams’s album “That Holiday Feelin“,released in 1990 by Verve. Described as a “warm and cozy greeting card of an album” – featured tunes include Christmas classics such as ‘The Christmas Song’, ‘Winter Wonderland’, carols such as ‘Silent Night’, and lesser-known tunes like ‘Christmas Rainbows’. The band will also present other jazz standard arrangements which Joe performed throughout his career. Expect an evening of great variety, as well as musicianship and interpretation of the highest quality.

Tickets are £10
