"Renaissance Man in a Jazz World" Sam Jewison returns to OSO Arts Centre with a brand-new show for 2025, celebrating the Great American Songbook in a kaleidoscopic evening of music.

The singer and pianist casts his acclaimed interpretation over swinging standards and timeless ballads by Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, and more, giving fresh treatments to songs made famous by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Oscar Peterson. Music from the classic Broadway stage, Hollywood screen, and golden age of American popular song, features alongside the piano fireworks of Gershwin's "An American in Paris". 

Jewison's vocal prowess and pianistic virtuosity has seen him tour internationally. He headlined the 2020 ReGeneration Festival in Florence and 2021 BBC Radio 3 Christmas Special, playing the award-winning Nevill Holt Opera House in 2022 and the 2024 Rame Lahaj International Opera Festival in Pristina. In addition to sold-out EFG London Jazz Festival shows in 2022 and 2023, Jewison has performed at iconic London venues, including the West End's Crazy Coqs, Camden's famous Jazz Café, Westminster Abbey, and the Royal Opera House.
