Description
The jazz group Alfie! invites you on a musical journey through Burt Bacharach's timeless melodies. With their debut album, The Songs of Burt Bacharach, the band steps from local stages to the record shelf, delivering a loving tribute to one of popular music's most iconic composers. After enchanting audiences in the Stockholm area with their brilliant interpretations of American classics, Alfie! has now created an entire album dedicated to Burt Bacharach's music. It was the song The Look of Love that sparked the idea, and soon the repertoire grew to consist solely of Bacharach's timeless melodies. Their concerts have garnered significant attention, and it is at the audience's suggestion that they are now releasing their first album. Burt Bacharach is one of our most beloved composers. With his rich melodies and original harmonic twists, he defined an entire era from the 1960s onwards. His music has been interpreted by many, perhaps most notably Dionne Warwick, but also by Frank Sinatra and many others. Alfie! approaches Bacharach from a jazz perspective, exploring his melodies and Hal David's lyrics with love. We get to hear iconic songs like Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head, Walk on By, Close to You, and many others.
