Bryan Ferry / The Jazz Age and Bitter-Sweet reissues

Bryan Ferry will reissue his two ‘jazz’ albums, The Jazz Age and Bitter-Sweet, next month.

Issued under moniker of ‘The Bryan Ferry Orchestra’ and ‘Bryan Ferry and his Orchestra’ respectively, these both offer up classic from Ferry and Roxy Music’s catalog as elegant jazz instrumentals in authentic 1920s style arrangements, and later Berlin inspired ’30s arrangements, with instrumentation including banjo, clarinet, muted trumpet, baritone sax, horn and woodwind arrangements and double bass.

The 13-track The Jazz Age was originally released in 2012 and inspired Baz Luhrmann to use ‘Love is the Drug’ on the soundtrack to his film The Great Gatsby, in 2013. Other tracks include Do The Strand, Avalon, Slave to Love and Virginia Plain.

Bitter-Sweet followed in 2018 after Ferry’s participation in German TV series Babylon Berlin, a year before. Six of the songs on this album were released on the Babylon Berlin soundtrack and unlike The Jazz Age around half of the songs feature Bryan as a vocalist.

The Jazz Age is reissued on limited edition ‘Forest Green’ coloured vinyl and a on CD, while Bitter-Sweet is being re-released on red vinyl and CD.

Both are released on 10 April 2026 (was 27 February) via BMG.
