Brighton Jazz Mafia
The ultimate big band experience formed from the cream of the Brighton jazz community and led by saxophonist Alex Bondonno: The Brighton Jazz Mafia return to Love Supreme festival in 2023 with their full 16 piece big band line up for a celebration of local composers: original music written for the band and inspired by their South Downs home by the sea.
The large format ensemble will be celebrating music from their album: Navigation composed by Simon D’Souza as well as celebrating music by other Brightonian talent including Mark Bassey, David Beebee and Paul Busby. The band captures the essence of classic 50s era big band sound, put into a crisp modern format. Punchy brass combined with luscious horn lines, complex jazz harmonies flowing over deep bass grooves.
Joined on this occasion by sublime vocalist Sam Carelse channeling her inner Ella and her iconic collaborations with Count Basie in the 50’s.
