The multi-talented ensemble head out on a series of UK shows ahead of the release of their debut album next year
New Regency Orchestra (NRO), the UK-based 18-Piece Afro-Cuban jazz collective, head out on a four-date UK tour ahead of the release of their yet-to-be-titled debut album in 2024. Part of a growing UK Latin jazz scene, the group take inspiration from the New York melting pot of the 1950s and 70s, when the music of jazz luminaries Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker collided with the Cuban roots of Chano Pozo and Machito, to forge their own hard-blowing highly danceable sound.
Their recent single is their take on the Tito Puente & Woody Herman’s ‘Mambo Herd’ and features authentic horn-heavy melodies and percolating percussion from the likes of trumpeter Nick Walters, percussionist Will Fry and Timbale player Ernesto Marichales.
Dates are: Brunel Goods Shed, Stroud (1 Dec); Bristol Beacon, Bristol (8 Dec) and Corn Exchange at Brighton Dome, Brighton (1 March 2024).
