The Man With The Golden Keys    
 

For the past seven years, pianist Tony Kieraldo has brought his distinctive style and dazzling virtuosity to the global stage with Postmodern Jukebox.

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

The center-piece of the night is Golden Keys—Kieraldo’s bold, imaginative reworking of 11 legendary James Bond themes, arranged for ragtime piano and voice.
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.
 

Together, this trio creates a powerful synergy, breathing new life into timeless jazz standards and iconic film music with warmth, sophistication, and showmanship.

Whether you’re a jazz lover, a Bond aficionado, or simply in search of an evening of captivating live music, this show—and the album that inspired it—delivers sophistication, suspense, and a whole lot of swing.

So order your martini—shaken, not stirred—and prepare for an unforgettable night where vintage jazz meets the intrigue of Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

They have ignited audiences at sold-out shows at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and other top venues across the UK and Europe, earning a reputation for electrifying live performances and world-class musicianship. Two of their albums have reached the top ten in the USA jazz charts, and they’ve been championed on air by Jamie Cullum, Lauren Laverne, Craig Charles, Jazz FM, and hundreds of other radio stations around the world.

Founder George Cooper brings a rich musical resume to the group, having worked with icons across genres including Hans Zimmer, Nigel Kennedy, Omar, U2, Slum Village, MF DOOM, Abstract Orchestra, Brother Strut, The Brand New Heavies and many more.
