Amon Ra Collective

Leeds' biggest and best cult music ensemble Ferg's Imaginary Big Band (led by maverick bass player/composer/bandleader and all round musical genius Fergus Quill), return to the Brudenell Leeds for the first time in almost a year and a half. Not only are they bringing their usual chaotic but beautiful cosmic big band jazz x punk/noise vibes to the Community Room stage once again but this time, they will be launching their DEBUT ALBUM live on the night it comes out. A minor miracle but Fergus managed to finally get 24 musicians into a recording studio to put down an album full of original material and they'll actually have vinyl copies for sale after the show!

Support comes from the next generation of cosmic music travellers, Amon Ra Collective. They are a Leeds astro-spiritual jazz group exploring continuous groove-based group improvisation. Although the repertoire is often progressing, spiritual ideals of unity, change and reconnecting with the higher consciousness are unifying themes. Influenced by Sun Ra, The Coltranes (John and Alice), Pharaoh Sanders, electric Miles and folk music, they are one of the most adventurous new young jazz bands to emerge from the current intake at Leeds Conservatoire.

This is another "DJ Lubi Presents" show where promoter Lubi Jovanovic continues in his quest to find, support and promote the best young emerging jazz talent in Leeds.
