About the artist

Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath

Ladies and gentlemen, let's take a trip back in time to the groovy era of the 1970s, where jazz was king and fusion was everything. And at the forefront of this musical revolution stood CHRIS MCGREGORS BROTHERHOOD OF BREATH, a band like no other. Led by the legendary South African pianist and composer Chris McGregor, this eclectic group of musicians brought a unique blend of African rhythms, free jazz improvisation, and avant-garde sensibilities to the forefront of the jazz scene. With their explosive energy and fearless experimentation, the Brotherhood of Breath quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the UK jazz scene. Their live performances were legendary, often lasting for hours on end and taking audiences on a wild, unpredictable journey through a sonic landscape like no other. With their powerful brass section, driving percussion, and intricate compositions, the Brotherhood of Breath created a sound that was both mesmerizing and exhilarating, leaving audiences begging for more. Sadly, the band's time in the spotlight was short-lived, with Chris McGregor passing away in 1990, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire musicians to this day. But even in their brief time together, the Brotherhood of Breath left an indelible mark on the jazz world, pushing boundaries and challenging conventions in a way that few bands have ever dared to do. So next time you're in the mood for some mind-bending, soul-stirring jazz music, do yourself a favour and give CHRIS MCGREGORS BROTHERHOOD OF BREATH a listen. You won't be disappointed. Trust us.
