Riot Jazz Brass Band return with their 4th studio album, dedicated to what they do best - making people happy!
"Riot Jazz to make the people dance, Riot Jazz to make the people happy"
This fresh selection of original tunes was composed especially for the band's UK tour in April 2022, and showcases the wide and eclectic range of styles the band can effortlessly flow between. From the Mariachi influenced sounds of '¿Qué?' to the pumping 5-to-the-floor house grooves in 'Sort Me Out'. There's a quick stop in New Orleans in the infectious 'Mardi Gras' and some truly dirty drum and bass sounds in 'Mokito' - there truly is something in this album for everyone.
The artwork is a fresh collaboration with the artist Lorna Robertson - the painted front cover is based on a classic Riot Jazz t-shirt design (in turn inspired by the artwork of Bob and Roberta Smith), fused with the stripey colourfulness of her 'Painting for 18 Musicians'.
