DMU Music & Leicester Jazzhouse in conjunction with Serendipity present as part of Leicester’s Black History Month:
Fresh from the Maceo Parker ‘School of Funk’, Dennis joins an elite lineage of trombone players responsible for changing its perceptions. Here, he presents ‘FUNKY-FUNK!’ an electrifying, hard hitting 6-piece outfit delivering fat angular bass-lines and sumptuous horn melodies. Funk at its best.
Dennis says “FUNKY-FUNK! is an outfit I’ve dreamed of putting together… A seriously funky band with an infectious sound… It makes you wanna move!”
