Info
On May 10, 2027 at Union Chapel in London, Fred Wesley brings Fred Wesley & The New J.B.’s back on stage with the kind of punchy, brass-led funk that shaped the 1970s. As James Brown’s key trombonist, arranger and bandleader, Wesley helped lock in that dry, syncopated horn language and the tight, interlocking groove that made the J.B.’s a reference point for soul, funk and everything that came after.
This show puts the spotlight on a legacy of deep cuts and classic recordings like Pass the Peas, Gimme Some More, Breakin’ Bread, Damn Right I Am Somebody and the R&B chart-topper Doing It to Death, whose rhythm-and-horns formula fed rare groove, acid jazz and generations of hip-hop sampling.
The night also nods to A Blow for Me, a Toot to You, the 1977 Fred Wesley & The Horny Horns album co-shaped with the P-Funk universe (George Clinton and Bootsy Collins), a meeting point between hard funk drive and sharper, jazz-minded writing.
