Since their maiden voyage in Manchester 2008, the 15-piece Riot Jazz Brass Band has been the bare-breasted galleon figure of the Riot Jazz flotilla.
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 far and wide with their twisted mix of funk, soul, hip-hop and aggressive jazz.
Often seen alongside Manchester compatriots Broke n’English, this motley crew of trumpets, trombones, drums and sousaphones have also worked with the Foreign Beggars, Jenna G and Skinnyman and hyped crowds for the likes of Dizzee Rascal, The Wailers and The Streets.
Anchored in the same New Orleans swamplands as the Hot 8 Brass Band and Youngblood Brass Band, the Riot Jazz Brass Band navigate a minefield of original aggressive jazz, hiphop samples, funked-up favourites and re-interpreted dubstep, drum’n'bass and dancefloor bangers that never fails to send limbs flying!
