My people,
If you have not had the pleasure of being lifted by Maurice Brown’s
soulful trumpet playing, come check us out performing this Thursday @
Makor. His band is called Soul’d You Out, and features some of the
hottest musicians in NYC, including Jeremy Most on guitar, Joe Blaxx on
drums, Mark Kelly on bass, Maya Azucena on vocals, myself on keys and
vocals, and a new crew of cats to check out.
Makor is located @ 35 w. 67th St

This is that thing you’ve been looking for to get recharged, don’t
miss it.
Also, get ready for me and my crew to hit the Harlem Grill on August

Peace,
Chris Rob

“One of my favourite events at this years Fringe was the appearance of Dennis Rollins (Badbone & Co) at The Underbelly… that titan of the trombone, was simply formidable.”
Paul Gudgin, Director of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2005
“One of the most popular fusion bands on the UK circuit”
The Guardian
“Rollins is also that rarest of jazz beasts: a genuine star”
The Independent On Sunday
“The most exciting British trombonist for decades”
Jazzwise
“A superb trombone technician, with a rare precision of pitch, a soaringly powerful sound”
JazzUK
“Likely to be established as the foremost jazz-funk trombonist in the world today”
Mojo
“Slide-trombone ace, Dennis Rollins, makes all his rivals sound leaden-footed”
Evening Standard
“Undoubtedly one of the most exciting trombonists playing today, Rollins has a brilliant technique and real star quality”
The Rough Guide to Jazz – 3rd (current) Edition
On 13 July at a star-studded event which featured the likes of Quincy Jones and Michael Caine, Dennis Rollins’ Badbone & Co was awarded the ‘Best Band’ prize by the Radio 2 and 3 BBC Jazz Awards 2006 at the Mermaid Theatre in London. In Birmingham earlier in the week (11 July) Dennis Rollins was the recipient of the Marston’s Pedigree British Jazz Award in the trombone category.
Dennis ‘Badbone’ Rollins is known as one of the the hardest working musicians in the UK for his extensive work as a composer, educator and instigator of many innovative projects and collaborations. Dennis’ unique and stylish approach to the often underrated trombone has garnered him acclaim not only nationally but internationally. Since Dennis Rollins’ Badbone & Co performed its first gig at The Barbican in 2000 the band has steadily gained friends and fans for its funky groove-based jazz performed with flair by musicians of the highest calibre. With his excellent musicians, Dennis Rollins’ Badbone & Co performs music that appeals to both dancers and listeners. From the blues to hip hop, funk to soul, the popularity of Badbone & Co just grows and grows.

over his own music, and to be able to release it without having to
cater to the commercial market.
Victor says, “I have always maintained the belief that there would
be people out there who want to buy good music without hype.”
And judging by the worldwide popularity of his music, this
philosophy is one that is appreciated by many.
