'A brass band unlike any you have heard before'.
Influenced by jazz, blues, reggae, country, free improvisation, soul, folk ... this inter-generational 'biggish band' of stars performs its unique take on tunes by the likes of Charlie Parker, Taj Mahal, Lillian Hardin Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Lester Bowie and Jean Ritchie alongside original material inspired by the history of improvised music. At Pizza Express Soho The Brass Monkeys showcase their incredible debut 'Lullabite'. "a treasure trove of music for the
listener" - Sammy Stein
