Festa: Damon Brown's International Quintet

Festa: Damon Brown's International Quintet

A welcome return to the UK for the man whose hard driving trumpet will surely blow you away. "Fluent, impassioned and technically superb" - Jack Masserick.

Damon Brown trumpet and vocals, Christian Brewer sax, Paul Kirby piano, Sean Pentland bass. Manuel Weyand drums

“Damon Brown is a superb musician with a unique voice on both trumpet and Flugelhorn” - Ian Carr

“a bright, gleaming tone, a superbly poised attack, and a fine rhythmic sense" - John Fordham

Of Christian Brewer, John Fordham says, "almost as agile and fluently expressive as the Charlie Parker disciple Phil Woods on fast pieces, and his ballad playing echoes the raw-nerve soulfulness of the late Art Pepper."

Paul (Scotland), Sean (U.S.A.) and Manuel (Germany) together are a band in their own right, called The Resonance Trio. They first played together when all three became music professors in Seoul, met Damon and recognised a good thing when they saw him, and then encountered Christian and found a further kindred spirit.
