OTHER ISSUES MMVV: 2023

The Gramophone Allstars Big Band

With Ska-Jazz always their trade mark, the Gramophone Allstars metamorphosed into a big band with their acclaimed Jazzmaica (Bankrobber, 2014), which they even released in Japan. With Maraca Soul (Bankrobber, 2017), the group widened their rhythmic range to other Caribbean sounds like boogaloo or calypso, keeping the flame alive with three short albums: The Reel Influence (Bankrobber, 2019), the single Let's Get It on (Bankrobber, 2020), a cover version of Marvin Gaye, and the homage to the Skatalites, Love Letter (Bankrobber, 2021). In the autumn of 2023, they will return to the charge with their third album in a big band format, in which their own songs gain more importance.
