Chris Butcher & John Pittman of the Heavyweights Brass Band

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Chris Butcher & John Pittman of the Jazz Group The Heavyweights Brass Band .. They have a grand sound captured very well in their latest 2017 CD This City .. The band is inspired by the New Orleans brass band tradition – they always keep one foot firmly rooted in the rich legacy of jazz, while one foot steps forward into the future – They have toured across Canada sharing the stage with The Roots, Trombone Shorty, Galactic and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble – and all along the way they have built a loyal following -  so get to know the band and dig this interview my friends ..
