Musical roots
Roll Over Beethoven marks a return to Young’s musical roots. The only musician in his family, he developed his style independently. From a young age, he explored genres such as classical, jazz, soul, rhythm and blues and reggae, while mastering the clarinet and saxophone.
The programme includes works such as “Roll Over Beethoven” by Chuck Berry, “Habanera” by Georges Bizet, “Route 66” popularised by Nat King Cole, “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire, “Still Got the Blues” by Gary Moore and “Wishing on a Star” by Rose Royce.
