about
Since their maiden voyage in Manchester 2008, the Riot Jazz Brass Band has been the bare-breasted galleon figure of the Riot Jazz club nights. Captained by Nick Walters (soon to complete a Masters of Jazz Trumpet) and fronted by the prodigious MC CHUNKY, these brass-wielding sentinels of live music and good times have infected ear-holes, dance floors and festival fields far and wide. Tours of the UK and Europe have established The Riot Jazz Brass Band as a band in their own right, earning them a faithful and diverse following. Highlights include BIG CHILL, CAMP BESTIVAL, LIVERPOOL MTV AWARDS, KENDAL CALLING, SOUNDWAVE CROATIA and EUROCULTURED: DUBLIN . Anchored alongside the likes of Hot 8 Brass Band, in the sonic swamplands of New Orleans, the Riot Jazz Brass Band navigate a minefield of original peace-lovin’ aggro jazz, hip-hop samples, funked-up favourites and re-interpreted dubstep, drum'n'bass and dancefloor bangers that never fail to send limbs flying! Often seen alongside Manchester compatriots BROKE N’£NGLISH and JENNA G, this motley crew of trumpets, trombones, drums and sousaphones have collaborated with a range of artists and hyped crowds for the likes of DIZZEE RASCAL, THE WAILERS, and THE STREETS . The Riot Jazz Brass Band comes in many disguises and a range of set-ups, from the 10-man core to a full 28-piece extravaganza!
