Crouch End Festival Chorus: Lansky, The Mob's Money Man at Cadogan Hall

About

The pianist and jazz composer creates a vivid portrait of notorious New York mobster Meyer Lansky, dubbed "The Mob’s Accountant". He combines American and Latino jazz styles with Jewish Klezmer motifs, all of which conjure up the sounds of New York at the height of the jazz age and the steamy decadence of Havana in the 1950s. This is the second performance of Perrin’s work, commissioned and first performed by Crouch End Festival Chorus in 2015.
