Jazz in the Loft - Dennis Rollins at The Tobacco Factory

Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Chameleonic trombone-for-hire and band leader extraordinaire, Dennis Rollins takes time out from Maceo Parker’s group to delight you with the funk fireworks and new jazz swing of this specially assembled quartet. He’s single-handedly revitalising the slide FFO: Jazz Warriors, Courtney Pine, Larry Young, Curtis Fuller, Fred Wesley."

A gig held at The Tobacco Factory on Sunday 14th December. The event starts at 19:30.

One of the most distinctive trombonists in the UK, Rollins has lent his unmistakable sound to artists including Blur, Jamiroquai, and Pee Wee Ellis, while leading his own award-winning projects. He’s received Trombonist of the Year at the British Jazz Awards, a BBC Jazz Award for Best Band, nominations for the Parliamentary Jazz Awards, and an MBE for services to music. Now he steps into Jazz in the Loft’s spotlight with a top tier band featuring Cameron Pierre (guitar) and Tiago Coimbra (bass), plus a special guest on drums. It’s rhythm, brass, and the Caribbean warmth. Impossible to sit still for. Please note: Audience members should enter via the Raleigh Road entrance and take the stairs or the lift to the third floor to access the Loft.
