The Jazz Age Album Launch. Nov '12.

 Dancing girls in flapper dresses summoned the spirit of the Great Gatsby at the roaring Twenties-inspired launch party for Bryan Ferry’s new album ‘The Jazz Age'. The Vinyl Factory hosted the cocktail party and dinner hosted at Annabel's in honour of the singer’s latest instrumental album. Bryan Ferry surprised the starry audience including Valentino, Dinos & Tiphaine Chapman, Mario Testino and Kristen McMenamy by getting up to join the orchestra and sing a couple of his most loved songs. A real treat...
