PizzaExpress Live (Holborn)

A brand new show with four UK jazz superstars. Ian and Tony are joined by Barry Green, piano, and Dave Green, bass. A celebration of the songs of two pivotal jazz giants: bandleader, pianist and composer, Duke Ellington, and the openly gay lyricist, pianist, composer and close friend of Martin Luther King and Lena Horne - Billy Strayhorn.

This brand new show, with these four UK jazz superstars, will be a memorable concert of some of the best swinging tunes and stunning ballads ever written, from the composers of ‘Take The ‘A’ Train’ Sophisticated Lady’ and the seminal ‘Lush Life’
