Beats & Pieces Big Band
Ben Cottrell director
Manchester-based Beats & Pieces take the
classic big band sound and add slamming bass
and drums, wah-wah funk and retro 70s fusion
to cook up a musical brew reminiscent of the
abandon and ambition of 1980s-born Jazz
Warriors and maverick collective Loose Tubes.
Led by founder and musical director, Ben
Cottrell, the group received rave reviews for
their Ronnie Scott’s début this year, described
by The Guardian as a ‘tour de force’, and were
winners of the 2011 European Young Artists’
Jazz Award.
