The dynamic pocket brass band Billy Martins Wicked Knee celebrate their first full length recording. They’ve played together in many settings over the decades: John Lurie’s Lounge Lizards, Sex Mob, Medeski Martin & Wood, Spanish Fly, The Jazz Passengers, Get Shorty (The feature film) and many other gigs. ’Heels over Head’ is now available on iTunes.
The new Hot 8 Brass Band double A-side digital single “Ghost Town” and “Let Me Do My Thing” is out now, announcing the emphatic return of New Orleans’ premier purveyors of roof-raising, jazz-infused, hip hop-fired marching band music, straight from the heart and fresh from the second line parades. Featuring a cover version of The Specials’ classic, alongside an original song, this single is the first taste of Hot 8 Brass Band’s eagerly awaited second album, ‘The Life And Times Of…” which follows on 12th November. Pre-order via iTunes or direct.
