10 years, 4 albums and over 300 shows since his debut release, BritishÂ singer-pianist Anthony Strong has established a reputation as a charismaticÂ singer, a swinging pianist and, above all, aÂ consummate performer.Â His new album, 'Me And My Radio', is Anthony's very own 21st centuryÂ mixtape; a collection of classics - old and new - carefully compiled for thoseÂ who share his love of great music, regardless ofÂ style.Â From jazz & blues through to motown & soul, songs made famousÂ by Louis Armstrong, Charlie Chaplin & Ella Fitzgerald sit alongside thoseÂ by Stevie Wonder & Johnny Cash. And, amongst theseÂ gems, a sprinkling ofÂ originals which could easily have come from a bygone era.Â But whilst the repertoire is unashamedly old-school, the treatment isÂ decidedly fresh. Ranging from intimate, all the way through to full big bandÂ and orchestra, this is a record full of colour,Â warmth and character.Â Following in the footsteps of the jazz greats who came before him,Â Anthony honed his craft on stage, performing - to date - more than 300 shows inÂ 26 countries. From LA's Hollywood Bowl in theÂ West, to Shanghai Jazz Week inÂ the East, as well as many of Europe's leading theatres, jazz clubs andÂ festivals. Of course, there have been many highlights along the way, including aÂ support show with the legendary BB King, an appearance on German television, aÂ front page on France's biggest dailyÂ newspaper, a 60-minute feature onÂ America's NPR...Â But his profile today comes not via a major label campaign or a singleÂ lucky break, but by a decade of touring, performing and, above all,Â entertaining audiences.Â On 'Me And My Radio' Anthony takes the dynamism of his last album 'OnÂ A Clear Day' to new heights. With his British charm, intelligent arrangementsÂ and handpicked repertoire, this is anÂ undeniably feel-good listen for 2019.
