Album DescriptionIn April 2008, Marti Pellow begins an intimate UK tour of his new album, 'In a Sentimental Mood'. Described by Marti himself as an album for lovers, this jazz-infused record marks a new musical direction for an extremely versatile star. The tour kicks off in Birmingham Town Hall on the 10th and 11th April, and visits fourteen cities around the UK, culminating in a show in St David's Hall in Cardiff on 30th April. Marti recently played to over 100,000 people on the latest Wet Wet Wet tour. After realising a long-held dream of performing a series of sell-out shows at Ronnie Scotts in London, Marti began work on this new jazz album. Working with Jim Watson, a multi award-winning jazz pianist, Marti has taken some classic songs and treated them in a way that is entirely unique, but will still be accessible to Marti's audience. A collection of world-class musicians have leant their considerable expertise, and the result is a powerful, timeless collection for music lovers of all ages. The impressive set includes classics such as 'Miss Jones', 'Summerwind', 'A Child is Born', 'Under My Skin' and a newly penned track by Marti, Chris Difford and James Halliwell called 'Chicago Rose'.
