Now, he steps into the spotlight for an unforgettable evening of music alongside drummer/vocalist Jack Amblin and vocalist Katherine Lupino.

Expect a sophisticated, high-energy tribute that redefines the sound of 007 while anchoring an evening of live performance that blends vintage jazz with cinematic flair.
