Slide trumpet, trumpet, trombone, tuba. Four cornerstones of jazz felicitously reunited in an unusual group comprising only brass instruments where poetry, humour, infectious rhythms and fun are guaranteed. Steven Bernstein is the formidable leader of Sex Mob (although he often works with Lou Reed). Paolo Fresu is one of the best loved Italian jazz musicians both at home and abroad. These days Gianluca Petrella pours his volcano of ideas into his spectacular Cosmic Band and his collaboration with Enrico Rava. Marcus Rojas is considered the world’s finest tuba player.
