Graham Hughes and the Brass Volcanoes take you on a journey through New Orleans and the Caribbean

About

The Brass Volcanoes, based in London, are inspired by the New Orleans brass band tradition, but also incorporating influences from other traditions and styles of jazz... This is all tied together with top class musicianship and a sense fun, giving the band its own unique sound. Graham Hughes formed the Brass Volcanoes in 2007, and from the outset the focus was on spontaneity, energy, interaction and joy. He has collected together a group of leading jazz musicians who can respond to what each other plays in the moment and infuse the songs with the magic of the moment! The Brass Volcanoes repertoire is drawn from classic New Orleans songs, as well as numbers composed by members of the band and songs taken from other genres. With vocals from the band, backing riffs created in the moment and improvised solos, each song is given its own personal twist.

As well as the timeless sounds of New Orleans expect to be drawn into the infectious enerdy of the Carribean infused Jazz. This night will definitely warrant some foot tapping and dancing!
