Bang Bang is a 7-piece brass and drums ensemble playing the music of trumpet player, Sam Dechenne. Inspired by the sounds of international brass bands and Jazz ensembles, Funk and Reggae horn sections, West African and Latin American drumming and Western chamber music - their sound is truly their own.
The rhythm section interweaves grooves and swaps roles throughout the performance for a visual and audible experience. Drum set, Cahon, Timbales, Congas, Surdo (Brazilian Bass Drum) and a variety of mixed percussion make up the intricate drum beats you’ll hear at a concert. The lower brass section takes on the bass role, rhythmic comping, inner harmony and main melody. Riding the musical wave on top is trumpet, voicing the main melody and voice of the band. With Bang Bang you’ll hear melodic and fiery solos from every member of the band, soft and intimate 3-part horn section compositions, exciting rhythm breaks and catchy melodies and horn riffs that will keep your ears open and your toes tapping. |
