Brass Volcanoes

The band consists of a mixture of brass, saxophones and drums. All of the band are professional jazz musicians who work together to create fabulous arrangements of popular and less well known tunes on the spot: ideas, solos and riffs are thrown around the band so that no two performances are ever the same. The music is filled with energy and life which draws the audience in a way unique to a band of this kind.

The idea of the modern jazz brass band developed from the original New Orleans parade bands over a century ago. They were, and still are, essential to any form of celebration in New Orleans: from parties, to parades, to weddings and funerals.

Over time new rhythms were added to the original marches, absorbing new styles of music over the decades - latin rythms, funk, blues, soul, rock, etc. Many great bands became known worldwide (The Dirty Dozen, Lester Bowie's, Olympia, Rebirth...)

Inspired by this long tradition The Brass Volcanoes have their own interpetation of the style, but remaining at the heart of the music is the desire for everyone to have a good time through the excitement of creating and listening to great live music.
