A fantastic Bank Holiday treat. If the sun doesn’t shine this gig will. This new jazz salsa band brings together some of the best jazz musicians in the south west in this exhilarating exploration of the latin groove
Rhythm is the heart beat of salsa and percussionists Ben Waring and Preston Prince combine on congas and timbales to create a soundscape of claves including son, rumba, guajira, and bembe. Seasoned veteran Jim Rintoul’s on bass and Tom Ball’s masterful piano bring it together.
Salsa would be nothing without brass. And providing this in trumps are Robin Pengilley on trumpet and Tom Breeze on trombone delivering the melodies, harmonies and solos you would expect. No salsa would be complete without coro vocals not only from the band but on this occasion the wonderful Marvin Muonuke will be returning to Teignmouth and guesting with the band .
