Funky afro-beat big band
The Brighton Beat added a vocalist to the mix in 2017. With
Ryan Nava
holding the mike (and adding extra percussion too) the band has
broadened their sound even further. Case in point: the new album
Live at the Clayton Opera House.
They have enjoyed a warm welcome over the years at that venue in
Clayton, NY and the show on October 20th, 2017 was no exception. Ever
thought that the fierce
Genghis Khan could be subjected to a free-flowing sax solo? Or that a
Fortune Teller could be divided into chopped guitar notes seasoned with trumpet blasts?
The Brighton Beat is well-oiled live phenomenon and thankfully they
are in the habit of releasing in concert albums on a regular basis.
Their sense of rhythm comes to fore again in a spicy mix of jazz and
funk. A party band that can please music geeks and revellers is pretty
rare.
