Jazz Fest, our summer jazz festival, will be back at Riverside on Saturday 5th July 2025!
Jeremy is one of the UK’s most in-demand singer/pianists. Either solo, or accompanied by his band, he captivates audiences with his natural, soulful voice, his charismatic personality and his arrangements of jazz, blues, groove and soul classics.
Jeremy has headlined sell-out shows at Ronnie Scotts, Pizza Express Live in Soho, the 606 Club and the Jazz Café. He has performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival, The Iridium Jazz Club in New York and headlines twice a year at Berlin’s premier jazz club The “A Trane”.
In 2014, his version of the beautiful Marc Cohn song “The Things We’ve Handed Down” was featured on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs and then hit number 1 in the iTunes vocal download chart.
Jeremy’s CD “Jeremy Sassoon & Friends Live”, was recorded live at PizzaExpress, London with his 5-piece band, and was chosen by respected German jazz publication Jazzthetik as one of their finest albums of 2018.
