The Basin Street Brawlers are ´London´s top hot jazz ensemble´ (visitlondon.com). This band of master musicians swing and stomp their way through the most beautiful melodies and raucous rags of the 1920s and 1930s ´with all the energy and assurance of a bunch of Kansas City veterans´ (The Sunday Times). Their debut record ´It´s Tight Like That´ has garnered critical acclaim, described as a work of ´world class musicianship´ (BBC).
The Brawlers regularly give concerts at the UK’s most prestigious jazz and chamber music venues, including the Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room, the Pizza Express Jazz Club and the Holywell Music Room. The group are also in demand playing for dancers, headlining the London Swing Festival numerous times and making appearances at the European Swing Dance Championships and London Balboa Exchange.
