About this concert
Na het geweldige succes van de allereerste theatertournee van de Sven Hammond Big Band komen zij op veler verzoek weer terug met het swingende en stomende programma rondom de legende, The Genius, Ray Charles.
Verwacht de door Ray gecomponeerde wereldhits als ‘Georgia’, ‘Hit The Road Jack’ en ‘Hallelujah’. Maar ook grote hits van andere artiesten en tijdsgenoten die Ray opnieuw arrangeerde.
Ray had geen makkelijk leven: groeide op in bittere armoede, werd blind op hele jonge leeftijd en kampte met allerlei verslavingen. Zijn boeiende levensverhaal komt in deze voorstelling natuurlijk aan bod.
’Sven Hammond Big Band plays Ray Charles’ is een muzikale theatershow waar je niet kan blijven stil zitten en die je niet gemist wil hebben.

Sven Hammond Biography
SVEN HAMMOND – BIOGRAPHY – ENGLISH VERSION 2021
It all began almost 15 years ago and they are still going strong: Sven Hammond. Since its creation in 2006, main man Sven Figee and his band of brothers have played hundreds of shows, both in their home country the Netherlands and abroad. They have 6 studio albums and 4 live albums under their name and still sound as fresh as ever.
Starting recordings in 2019 the band went back to their roots as an instrumental, Hammond driven outfit. The result is their new album ‘Sphere’ (released April 16, 2021). An album dedicated to the music of jazz legend Thelonious Monk. Sven: ‘It was back in the days in a little bar in The Hague where I started to play the music of Monk and where the seed was planted for this idea; an entire album with his compositions but in our own way. Arranged to fit collaborations with contemporary artists and their music. Hip Hop and soul in the blender with Monk’s hard bop jazz. A very exciting project and an amazing mix of styles that actually works out!’ The album has become a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks with appearances of Typhoon, Akwasi, Cheyenne Toney, Gianski and Zoe Love Smith.
With this album, the band has set the tone for an exciting new round of shows and is more ready than ever to bring their exciting, grooving, dirty and always soulful sounds to international stages in 2021 and beyond.
