"Slide-trombone ace, Dennis Rollins, doesn't go in for deep harmonic sequences but his punchy phrasing makes all his rivals sound leaden-footed." - Evening Standard

Bold, brassy and absolutely brilliant! That's the audio treat you can expect with Dennis Rollins on trombone and Jay Phelps on trumpet. Rollins is best known for his work with The Jazz Warriors and Courtney Pine, while Phelps is the name from Tomorrow's Warriors. Others in this formidable lineup are Johnny Heyes on guitar, Mike Janisch on bass, Alexander Morgan on keyboards and Nathan Allen on drums.

Watch the action as their nimble jazz-funk repertoire slides into hip-hop, blues and soul with the pizzazz of a true smooth operator.
