Improvisation, hip grooves and beautiful melodies
Renowned Birmingham-based trumpeter and flugelhorn player BRYAN CORBETT presents a new original project – The Instrumental Groove Unit – full of improvisation, hip grooves, beautiful melodies, unique musicianship, interplay and virtuosity.
Having returned to playing from serious health issues and major surgery in 2024, Bryan is back doing what he does best. His exciting new project introduces original material and a repertoire with emphasis on the ‘pocket’ of groove and freedom of improvisation.
The lush harmonic textures emanating from Paul Deats’ Fender Rhodes provide expansive sonic colours and foundation eminently augmented and explored by bass, drums and Bryan’s distinctive trumpet/flugel playing.
