Join acclaimed jazz vocalist Freddie Benedict for an unforgettable evening at Jazz Café POSK in Hammersmith, as he brings to life timeless classics from The Great American and Brazilian Songbook. With his velvety tone, impeccable phrasing, and effortless charm, Freddie pays tribute to two musical giants — Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim — whose legendary collaborations shaped the sound of sophisticated jazz and bossa nova.
Expect lush swing, tender ballads, and the lilting rhythms of Brazil as Freddie and his band reinterpret favourites such as “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Wave,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” and “One Note Samba”.
Adding to the evening’s sparkle is a very special guest appearance from renowned saxophonist Dave O’Higgins, one of the UK’s leading jazz instrumentalists. With O’Higgins’ lyrical tone and masterful improvisation alongside Freddie’s smooth vocals, this promises to be a night of warmth, elegance, and world-class musicianship!
Set in the intimate surroundings of Jazz Café POSK, this concert offers a perfect winter treat for lovers of classic jazz and bossa nova.
