An internationally known retro-jazz-vocalist with a unique “new-old” approach, Julian Yeo blends old school soul with celebrated qualities of today (and sometimes with a twist). Julian Yeo possesses a vintage recording voice with a cool, clear tone reminiscent of 1920s singers. At the same time, his renditions are undeniably hip and refreshingly unique. “A fresh new sound” and “an thoroughly original” vocalist, Julian’s latest CD 'Unusual Passage' was on several top 10 jazz charts and was recently honored by WHLI as one of the top 10 2008 releases.

The Iridium welcomes back Julian Yeo and his retro-jazz band. Let Julian Yeo and his Retro-Jazz Band entertain you with their own interpretations of your favorite standards. The Retro-Jazz Band features music director Jesse Gelber on piano/keyboard, Doug Largent on bass, and Kevin Dorn on drums. For music clips, please check out http://julianyeo.com .
