The Gramophone Allstars Big Band

About

From the sun-drenched shores of Barcelona comes The Gramophone Allstars Big Band, a sonic collective proving that vintage sounds can still sound utterly fresh. More than just a retro revival act, they're alchemists, fusing Jamaican ska, early reggae, and jazz sensibilities into a singular, irresistible groove. Think Ernest Ranglin jamming with Count Basie after a nightcap of dub. The band's ascent began in the vibrant Barcelona music scene, quickly graduating from local clubs to international festivals. Their infectious energy and meticulously crafted arrangements, showcasing both virtuosic musicianship and playful improvisation, soon caught the ear of discerning listeners. The Gramophone Allstars' impact stems from their commitment to honoring the roots of Jamaican music while injecting it with their own unique Spanish flavor. They’re not merely mimicking the past; they're building upon it. Collaborations with legends like The Skatalites have further solidified their status as serious players in the global ska and reggae landscape. Currently, The Gramophone Allstars Big Band continues to tour extensively, bringing their vibrant sound to audiences worldwide. They are also reportedly working on new material, promising a further evolution of their signature blend of classic and contemporary sounds, ensuring that the dance floor remains their undisputed kingdom.
