The Grand Wazoo / The Tombo Trio

"Authentic Brasilian Samba Jazz as good as you'd hear anywhere in the World - including Brasil!!" (Snowboy). 'The best bands in improvised music are the ones that are able to execute moments of cohesive bliss at the right time...The Grand Wazoo have this gift, and as such are not just an assembly of very able musicians, they're a highly enjoyable band to watch' (Leeds Guide). The Grand Wazoo are one of the premier jazz samba bands in the UK. In their short existence, they've played to thousands at the Edinburgh Live8 rally, supported legends Azymuth and Courtney Pine, and gathered a faithful local fan base. Devoted to the music of Brazil, they play classics from the likes of Airto, Marcos Valle, Jobim, Joyce, Jorge Ben and many others, as well as excavating lesser-known treasures and arranging them all in their own unique way. The Tombo Trio, the little brother of the Wazoo, are currently making a big name for themselves due to their high intensity jazz samba. Influenced by the classic 60's Brazilian piano trios like Milton Banana, Tamba Trio and Som Tres, but constantly forward-thinking at the same time, they put a thoroughly modern spin on the traditional Brazilian songbook to create their own kind of Brazilian jazz.
