Bitter-Sweet Red Vinyl

Drawing inspiration from the shadowy cabarets and smoky jazz halls of late1920s Weimar Berlin, BitterSweet sees Bryan Ferry and His Orchestra reimagining his solo and Roxy Music catalogue with a sophisticated jazz sensibility. The album features elegant horn and woodwind arrangements, muted trumpet, clarinet flourishes, and a mood of urbane melancholy, transforming classics like Alphaville, Reason or Rhyme, and While My Heart Is Still Beating. Ferry himself provides select vocals on eight tracks, while the remaining songs unfold as instrumental reinterpretations, arranged with the expertise of Colin Good and performed by a full ensemble of seasoned jazz musicians. The albums concept grew from Ferrys work as music consultant on the acclaimed German TV series Babylon Berlin, where several tracks were originally featured, blending cinematic drama with jazz authenticity. Perfect for longtime fans, jazz enthusiasts, and collectors, BitterSweet offers a fresh perspective on Ferrys songwriting, making it a standout title for display, discovery, and giftgiving.The album is being reissued for the first time since 2012 on limited edition red colour 1LP vinyl and a 1CD format.
