Loose Tubes
Legendary British big band Loose Tubes reunited and in concert at Ronnie Scott's, performing new music commissioned by 大象传媒 Radio 3
A second chance to hear legendary British big band Loose Tubes, reunited and in concert at Ronnie Scott's, performing new music commissioned by 大象传媒 Radio 3.
Bursting onto the scene in the 1980s, Loose Tubes represented one of the most exciting movements in British jazz history, winning crowds over with a combination of trailblazing compositions, anarchic stage performances and an irreverent sense of humour. Twenty four years after their last outing, they're back at their spiritual home of Ronnie Scott鈥檚, with all that original spirit intact. This performance features brand new music from the band鈥檚 composers Chris Batchelor, Steve Berry, Eddie Parker and Django Bates, alongside a selection of old favourites.
