Reuben Richards & The Jezebel Sextet Present: The Music of Otis Redding
See Otis Redding’s songs performed live on stage as two of the UK’s most exciting soul acts join forces to make the world’s funkiest Otis Redding show!
Originally commissioned by Soul Cookers Records for Saint Paul Soul Jazz Festival, this show pairs award winning soul singer Reuben Richards with Hammond and horns from The Jezebel Sextet. The result is a truly uplifting show steeped in 1960s soul that’s guaranteed to get you on the good foot.
You’ll hear 20 Otis Redding classics including My Girl, Mr Pitiful, Hard To Handle, Love Man, Try A Little Tenderness and Sitting on the Dock of the Bay – all performed by an incredible 8 piece band.
“Richards has a crunchy, scrunchy sub-Otis bawl that would have sounded dandy in front of the MG’s or the Memphis Rhythm Section”.Independent on Sunday
