People Open DS/UK/8992 The Bryan Ferry Orchestra (2012) The Bryan Ferry Orchestra 2012 British jazz ensemble Group (Male) United Kingdom (formed) British Music Group; Orchestra / Jazz Members: Colin Good - piano Enrico Tomasso - cornet, trumpet Malcolm Earle-Smith - trombone Richard White - saxophones, clarinet Robert Fowler, Alan Barnes - saxophone, clarinet Martin Wheatley - banjo, guitar John Sutton - drums The Bryan Ferry Orchestra is a retro-jazz ensemble founded and led by Bryan Ferry. They exclusively play his work in a 1920s jazz style. Ferry formed the orchestra out of a desire to focus on the melodies of his songs, and "see how they would stand up without singing". Ferry neither plays nor sings with the orchestra; BBC reviewer Chris Roberts called it a "peculiar concept then, with Ferry now, almost Warhol-like, sagely mute to one side while collaborators silkscreen his own icons. As fascinating as it is perplexing, anything but obvious, and therefore to be applauded." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bryan_Ferry_Orchestra (2021) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 RAHdroberts 11/15/2013 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 02038372-8171-4dec-8459-1bdc010c4e9c
