The Gramophone Allstars Big Band \u2014 Jazzmaica, Soul, and Caribbean Rhythm in a Collective Key<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gramophone Allstars Big Band<\/strong> is one of the most solid and recognizable projects on today\u2019s Black music scene. Their approach starts with 1960s Jamaican music (ska, rocksteady, and reggae) and expands into soul, jazz, and other African American musical languages, all while crafting a distinctive and carefully honed sonic identity.<\/p>\n

The group was formed in the spring of 2008 and took a decisive turn when it evolved into a big band with Jazzmaica<\/strong> (2014), an acclaimed album that was even released in Japan and solidified their musical personality. Under the direction of saxophonist Gen\u00eds Bou<\/strong>, the band combines orchestral precision, groove, and a clear festive spirit without losing musical depth.<\/p>\n

With Maraca Soul<\/strong> (2017), they broadened their rhythmic palette by incorporating Caribbean sounds such as boogaloo and calypso. In the following years, they released several shorter works that reinforced their versatility: The Reel Influence<\/strong>, the single Let\u2019s Get It On<\/strong> (a reinterpretation of Marvin Gaye), and the EP Love Letter<\/strong> (2021), always with meticulous attention to arrangements and collective pulse.<\/p>\n

After more than 150 concerts as a big band, they returned in 2023 with Call Your Friends<\/strong>, a work that reaffirmed the project\u2019s maturity and its ability to update musical traditions with a contemporary, danceable, and elegant perspective.<\/p>\n

Why shouldn\u2019t you miss them?<\/strong>
Because The Gramophone Allstars Big Band<\/strong> turns tradition into celebration: a powerful big band, full of groove and nuance, uniting dance, sophistication, and community spirit in every performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
