Multi-award winning horn section mavericks, Brass Jaw set out on a celebratory Christmas themed UK tour. Expect a fresh take on some well-known seasonal melodies, given the Brass Jaw treatment in a lively and adventurous set.

The band’s recent success has culminated in them picking up awards for Ensemble of The Year at last year’s Parliamentary Jazz Awards as well as Contemporary Band of The Year and Album of The Year at The Scottish Jazz Awards.

Brass Jaw’s busy 2012 international touring schedule has seen them turn up in locations as far flung as Algeria, France and The Shetland Isles.

Working without a traditional rhythm section, Brass Jaw creates a performance that is truly unique in sound and direction. Brass Jaw’s concerts are characterised by the band’s trademark momentum, drive and charisma, in a set that strongly embraces the jazz tradition whilst reaching out into the unknown towards new musical territory.
