Join multi-award winning trombonist Dennis Rollins for an evening with his simmering jazz funk trio, featuring Hammond organ virtuoso Ross Stanley and Joel Barford on drums for a brilliant marriage of refined contemporary jazz arrangements with smokin' grooves.
" This group produces genuine fireworks" – BBC Music Magazine (UK)
For 25 years trombonist Dennis Rollins has played at the forefront of the UK jazz, funk and pop as an 'impossibly virtuosic' sideman to such stars such as Maceo Parker, Courtney Pine, The Brand New Heavies, Blur, Monty Alexander. An award-winning leader in his own right, he is a previous winner of the BBC Jazz 'Best Band' Award, the Parliamentary Jazz 'Education' Award; and Ronnie Scott's 'Best Trombone' Award.
