BOISDALE, CANARY WHARF, FEATURES MADS MATHIAS

Singer, songwriter and saxophonist Mads Mathias has captured the hearts of music lovers with his charismatic performances, spirited personality and creative original songs, leading Gaffa to describe him as “an international star in the making“.

Inspired and influenced by the great jazz vocalists of the past and present from Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra to Harry Connick Jr, and with a deep respect for the crooner tradition, Mathias is nevertheless an original talent with a unique and effortlessly charming vocal delivery and a skill for writing catchy and memorable, stylishly crafted tunes with the feel of timeless swing-era classics.

For his final UK date this year, Mads Mathias will perform music from his debut album ‘Free Falling’, (which won him the award for ‘Best New Jazz Act’ at the Danish Music Awards), alongside well-loved and lesser-known standards.

“A truly gifted artist”

HELP US KEEP JAZZ LIVE AND ALIVE!

Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.

Jazz&Jazz is dedicated to keeping jazz LIVE AND ALIVE. We value exchanges of views on all things jazz. You can make your comments by using the “Speak Your Mind” option below each post.

“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans
