Sold out annually at Ronnie Scott’s, this festive jazz entertainment
is the perfect way to swing into the holidays.

Fronted by acclaimed singer Joanna Eden (‘The UK’s answer to
Norah Jones and Diana Krall’ – Time Out) and featuring the groovy sounds of
the Chris
Ingham Quartet (‘One of the finest combos in the country’ – Jazz
Journal), Jazz at the Movies: A Swinging Christmas gathers jazzy festive
favourites as made famous by Ella, Eartha, Frank, Doris, Dean, Bing and a whole
gang of cool celluloid cats and hip Hollywood chicks.

An enchanting show, rich with anecdote, sophistication and swing,
it was described by one audience member as “pure joy”.

Michael Sutton, a seasoned jazz vocalist,
emerged in 2024 with his highly-anticipated debut album, Those Leftover Dreams, under the expert
guidance of Claire Martin OBE as producer. Shows this year have included a
sell-out album launch show at Piano, Smithfield followed by a summer show at
Pizza Express Live, The Pheasantry with some of the UK’s finest musicians.

His rich and soulful vocals will take centre stage, leaving an
indelible mark on each jazz composition. Backed by the exceptional Rob Barron on piano and Jeremy Brown on bass, this show
will seamlessly blend familiar tunes with delightful surprises in a cool,
effortless way.

This show will pay homage to some of the great jazz compositions.
Including songs from Michael’s critically-acclaimed debut album Those Leftover Dreams and some cool takes on
a few festive favourites.

We have a laid-back attitude at Late Night Jazz at the Royal
Albert Hall – customers are welcome to dance, move around, sing along, and
enjoy themselves in whatever way feels most comfortable!
