The Hot 8 Brass Band' out now on Tru Thoughts. Hot 8 Brass Band's second album, 'The Life And Times Of... The Hot 8 Brass Band', is out 12th November on Tru Thoughts, announcing the emphatic return of New Orleans' premier purveyors of roof raising, jazz infused, funk and hip hop fuelled marching band music, straight from the heart and fresh from the second line parades.   "No Beginning No End sums up how I feel about music right now," says José James of his Blue Note Records debut. "I don't want to be confined to any particular style. I decided I didn't want to be considered a jazz singer anymore and that was really freeing. Once I realized that jazz singing is just something that I do and it's just a label, it freed me as an artist to just write without any boundaries." ticketweb   ticketmaster WIN TICKETS Win Win Win Martha Reeves & The Vandellas Wed 19 Dec Having written some of the best known songs of the 60s Motown - 'Jimmy Mack' and 'Dancing In The Street' to name just 2 - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas continues to thrill audiences around the world, and takes to the stage at the Jazz Cafe for two special nights this December.
