SUMMARY:Hot 8 Brass Band
DESCRIPTION:The legendary Grammy award-winning Hot 8 Brass Band from New Orleans storms into Frome this summer as part of their 30th anniversary tour. Unleashing a powerful fusion of jazz\, funk\, hip-hop\, and rap through a vibrant arsenal of trombones\, saxophones\, trumpets\, and pounding snare and bass drums. \nHot 8 Brass Band draw on the traditional jazz heritage of their hometown\, alongside more modern styles\, including elements of funk\, hip hop\, rap\, and its local variation\, “bounce.” The collective earned a win in the 64th Annual Grammy Awards 2022 for their feature on John Batiste’s ‘Album of The Year’\, following the nomination of ‘The Life & Times Of…’ for ‘Best Regional Roots Album’ in 2013. \nWith multiple sell-out shows at London’s Roundhouse and Brighton’s Dome\, Hot 8 continues to share their acclaimed releases. Albums such as ‘Vicennial…’\, ‘On The Spot’ and ‘Take Cover’\, are brought to the stage\, honouring their city’s musical traditions\, while forging their own powerful legacy. \nMixing an old-school street brass approach with funkier currents and hip hop vocals\, Hot 8’s magnificent originals are juxtaposed with fresh versions of Snoop Dogg\, Stevie Wonder\, The Specials and of course their anthemic take on Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing”.n 2019. Later that year\, after taking to the stage at the BRIT awards in February\, Hot 8 Brass Band were invited on the European leg of George Ezra’s tour. \nWith multiple sell-out shows at London’s Roundhouse and Brighton’s Dome\, Hot 8 continues to share their acclaimed releases. Albums such as ‘Vicennial…’\, ‘On The Spot’ and ‘Take Cover’\, are brought to the stage\, honouring their city’s musical traditions\, while forging their own powerful legacy. Mixing an old-school street brass approach with funkier currents and hip-hop vocals\, Hot 8’s magnificent originals are juxtaposed with fresh versions of Snoop Dogg\, Stevie Wonder\, The Specials and of course their anthemic take on Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing”. \nThe recent passing of Bennie Pete\, the beloved co-founder and sousaphone player for the outfit\, was honoured in true New Orleans fashion with ‘The Bossman Tour 2023’\, paying tribute to his “galvanizing force” as a “leader\, teacher\, and mentor”. Fellow bandmates added that “Bennie was an inspiration to [the] band and to many other musicians\, and the entire musical and cultural community.” \nThe dates celebrated the late Bennie’s “greatest wish… that New Orleans culture lives on for future generations”. This parade followed the success of the Mardi Gras 2020 and ‘Take Cover’ 2019 tours.
