Stepping Out
28 year old London jazz singer-pianist Anthony Strong has last month signed a worldwide recording deal with iconic French label Naïve.
Strong, who has been hailed in mainland Europe as “ENGLAND´S NEW JAZZ SUPERSTAR,” received widespread attention with the release of his EP and the accompanying video-clips of jazz hits ‘Cheek To Cheek’ and ‘For Once in My Life’. He made his debut across the channel this year with 12 SELL OUT SHOWS IN PARIS, a support slot for B.B. King at the famous Grand Rex theatre, live broadcasts on national French radio station TSF, and a performance at the country’s prestigious MARCIAC JAZZ FESTIVAL.
