The Songs Of Satchmo and Sinatra is an intimate, heartwarming celebration of two musical legends who shaped the golden age of jazz and swing : Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong.
Denny Ilett is a self-confessed ‘Sinatraphile’ who has performed his personal take on the music of Frank Sinatra at festivals and clubs across the UK, Europe, the US and Australia.
Enrico Tomasso is an acclaimed trumpeter and vocalist who was personally mentored by Louis Armstrong in the late 1960s. From the great man, Enrico learned lessons that he continues to bring to every performance.
Together, they present the timeless hits of Frank and Louis backed by a world class rhythm section featuring Colin Good (piano) Stuart Barker (bass) and Sebastiaan de Krom (drums)
