In June 2011, Ferry was made a [[CBE]] in the Queen's Birthday Honours for his contribution to the British music industry, and in 2012 he was awarded the French national honour of [[Ordre des Arts et des Lettres]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Bruce Forsyth knighthood heads Queen's Birthday Honours |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13728375 |publisher=BBC News |date=11 June 2011}}</ref> In 2014, Ferry was made an honorary [[Doctor of Music]] by Newcastle University.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/488338/Bryan-Ferry-Doctor-of-Music-Newcastle-University|title=Roxy Music's Bryan Ferry receives honorary degree from Newcastle University|date=12 July 2014|website=[[Daily Express]]|access-date=2 December 2018}}</ref>

On 26 November 2012, he released a new album entitled ''[[The Jazz Age (The Bryan Ferry Orchestra album)|The Jazz Age]]'' with [[the Bryan Ferry Orchestra]]. The album features 1920s period jazz renditions of some of Ferry's songs (from both his solo discography and with Roxy Music). Film director [[Baz Luhrmann]] asked to use Ferry's song "Love Is the Drug" from ''The Jazz Age'' album for the 2013 film ''[[The Great Gatsby (2013 film)|The Great Gatsby]]''. This resulted in a collaboration with the Bryan Ferry Orchestra to create several jazz pieces throughout the movie, released as a separate album titled ''The Great Gatsby – The Jazz Recordings (A Selection of Yellow Cocktail Music)''. Ferry began touring with the Bryan Ferry Orchestra in 2013, including a performance at the [[2013 Cannes Film Festival]] which was opened by Luhrmann's ''Great Gatsby'' film.

In 2014, Ferry toured extensively, with notable performances including [[Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival]], as well as an appearance at the [[Chicago Theatre]], which was preceded by a talk with author [[Michael Bracewell (writer)|Michael Bracewell]] at the [[Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago|Museum of Contemporary Art]] on the subjects of fame and his creative inspiration.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Rutherford|first=Kevin|date=20 January 2014|title=Bryan Ferry Reveals Eight-Date Tour Around Coachella|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/5876991/bryan-ferry-reveals-eight-date-tour-around-coachella/|access-date=22 January 2021|magazine=Billboard}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Klein|first=Josh|date=22 September 2014|title=As always, Bryan Ferry was impeccable|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-bryan-ferry-review-chicago-theatre-roxy-music-20140922-story.html|access-date=22 January 2021|website=[[Chicago Tribune]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=MCA Talk: Bryan Ferry and Michael Bracewell |url=https://mcachicago.org/Calendar/2014/09/Bryan-Ferry-And-Michael-Bracewell |work=MCA |access-date=18 August 2018}}</ref> Also in 2014, Ferry collaborated with the Norwegian DJ/producer [[Todd Terje]], providing vocals on a cover version of "[[Johnny and Mary]]" (originally recorded by [[Robert Palmer]]).

In November 2014, Ferry released a new album entitled ''[[Avonmore (Bryan Ferry album)|Avonmore]]'', featuring original material and two cover songs (including the aforementioned "Johnny and Mary" with Terje). To support the album, Ferry launched a 20-date tour across the UK and released his first-ever solo live album, ''Live 2015''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bryanferry.com/new-bryan-ferry-live-album/|title=New Bryan Ferry Live Album – Bryan Ferry|website=Bryanferry.com|date=15 April 2016 |access-date=2 December 2018}}</ref> Ferry continued to tour Europe and North America in the three years following the album's release, consistently playing no fewer than 30 shows each year.

While furthering his solo career in recent years, Ferry has continued to collaborate with previous members of Roxy Music, including backing singer [[Fonzi Thornton]] and guitarist [[Neil Hubbard]].
