‘Artistic re-imaginings of songs, many of which are better than the originals!’ Mike Wells, The Reviews Hub

We can’t wait to welcome this stunning five-piece band to the Festival Theatre. They will be opening our May week of shows with well-known songs from the 70s and 80s, transforming them with a mix of jazz, bossa and samba. What’s not to love! Their unique set of exuberant, original contemporary jazz arrangements will include hits by Dolly Parton, Madonna, U2, The Police, A-ha and Britney Spears.

Fronted by world class vocalist Lucy Randell, Jazz Dynamos have performed sold-out shows at the legendary Ronnie Scott’s and Pizza Express Jazz Clubs in London, festivals in UK, Italy, Sweden, France, Norway and Bulgaria, and at private events for British and Hollywood Royalty.

Originally formed over two decades ago as a side project while performing with Ray Gelato, this flawless, tight-knit group of musicians worked with a number of different vocalists before Lucy Randell joined ten years later, they haven’t looked back since. The group specialise in creating jazz rearrangements of songs by an eclectic mix of artists, reimagining the songs, many of which, we would say are better than the originals! Do take a look at their video below, we’re confident you will feel the same way.
Lead vocalist, Randell is effortlessly charming. Her incredible exacting vocals highlight her dexterity as she moves through samba into soulful numbers, gripping the audience throughout. The arrangements, by Mark Adelman on keyboard are as exquisite as they are surprising, many of which include seamless mergers of seemingly incompatible songs.
