Info
On May 4, 2027, Fred Wesley brings Fred Wesley & The New J.B.’s to Trinity Centre in Bristol for a night built around the brass-driven funk that shaped a whole era. As James Brown’s key trombonist, arranger and bandleader, Wesley helped forge that dry, syncopated, ultra-tight sound that still sits at the core of modern groove music.
With The J.B.’s legacy in the background, expect sharp horn lines, locked-in rhythms and basslines that don’t let up, pulling from the band’s classic run of cuts like Pass the Peas, Gimme Some More, Breakin’ Bread and the chart-topping Doing It to Death. This show also tips its hat to the 50th anniversary of A Blow For Me, A Toot To You (1977), the Fred Wesley & The Horny Horns album produced with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins, a perfect snapshot of 70s funk meeting P-Funk imagination.
