Damon Brown came to jazz via Ska and Reggae; working in his youth with The Specials (& Aka) and closely with legendry trombonist Rico Rodriguez
Throughout his career Damon has played and recorded with many pop & rock artists including Sting, Eric Clapton, Bjork, and Paul Weller to name a few. He has been a Bristol favourite through many visits over the years in the bands of Ed Jones (with whom he formed Killer Shrimp), Jonathan Gee and with his own quartet & quintet’s
He has also lived abroad for many years in various exotic places from Spain and Japan to South Korea where he is now resident and spends half his time.

Tonight Damon brings his South Korean Trio to Bristol. Joining Damon, the trio is completed by Kang Woong (guitar) and Park Jin Kyo (double bass).
Previous UK appearances with his Korean trio include the Pizza Express Jazz Club, Ronnie Scott's, and The London and Edinburgh Jazz Festivals.
This trio without drums presents an interesting prospect especially with Damon’s always lyrical and harmonic style of trumpet.

"Britain's finest straight-ahead trumpeter" - The Evening Standard

“He has a bright and gleaming tone, a superbly poised attack and a fine rhythmic sense.” - The Guardian
