Roxy Music legend Bryan Ferry has re-recorded some of his own compositions, performed by The Bryan Ferry Orchestra, in the jazz style of the 1920s.

Produced by Ferry and Rhett Davies, the album, called The Jazz Age, features instrumental versions of some of his best known songs.

Ferry explains: “After forty years of making records, both in and out of Roxy Music, I thought now might be an interesting moment to revisit some of these songs, and approach them as instrumentals in the style of that magical period. I would like to thank Colin Good and the other outstanding musicians featured on this record for bringing a new and different life to these songs – a life without words”.

I'd like to hear this. The price needs to come down before I'll bite, though.

Images of Todd Rundgren's Tiki remakes album comes to mind.

I just heard a couple minutes of an mp3 leak. I plan to play the entire thing tomorrow, but this could be the album of the year. This is EVERYTHING Joe Jackson's lame Ellington tribute wasn't. This truly sounds like 20's Duke. If you're a 20's & early 30's jazz fan, my initial take is this is awesome! (Though I have clue what Ferry has to do with it other than being the song writer).

This thread should also be in different strokes. It is a "jungle music" jazz album.

Mid-late 20's Black jazz. It's a style that's heard often in early cartoons. I don't really know how to describe it, other than i love it. Listen to just about any 1928-31 Ellington for great examples.

Bubber Miley's wah-wah trumpet (originally an imitation of the blues shouting of Mamie Smith, whom he accompanied in 1921) was as essential as Ellington's piano. The growling sound of both his trumpet and Joe Nanton's trombone lent the band's sound its "savage" appeal. Couple with Sonny Greer's primordial drumming, they evoked the African jungle, and therefore was advertised as "jungle music".

Because Bryan Ferry's name is attached to this, I think it is in the right place ("New Releases").

I noticed that also, though mp3 is hard to judge. I WILL be buying this, Can't remember the last time I was this excited about an album.

Thing is, (possibly other than Avalon) it sounds nothing like Ferry or Roxy. It is early style American jazz & miles better than anything I've heard from current revivalists on the indy labels.
