The Hot Rock Brass Band is a band inspired by the New Orleans brass band tradition but also incorporating influences from many other cultures and genre’s – Jamaican, Eastern European, funk, Latin, gospel, jazz... This is all tied together with a sense of humour and fun giving the band their own unique sound. Sousaphone player Graham Hughes put the Hot Rock Brass Band together 2007, surrounding himself with a collection of highly versatile jazz musicians who could take a melody and turn it into an arrangement on the spot.
The band is all about spontaneity, energy, interaction and fun. Described as a band that “is totally impossible not to enjoy”, Hot Rock Brass Band has been inspiring people of all ages and tastes at clubs, arts centres and festivals across the UK.
The band plays their own arrangements of popular songs, classic New Orleans repertoire, interpretations of music from other genres as well as songs composed by members of the band. This gives the Hot Rock Brass Band their own unique sound unlike any other brass band.
They have recorded three albums. The second in Sarm Studios in West London and most recently in The Premises in East London in December 2011.
Available Line-ups:
Typical line-up: Drums, tuba and four horns.
Parade Line-up: As above with an extra drummer.
