Paul Booth's Bansangu Orchestra play Pet Sounds
Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, W1D 4HT , [Venue Details]Bansangu Orchestra is a fresh contemporary orchestra formed by Paul Booth, Giorgio Serci and Kevin Robinson. It boasts some of the finest London-based musicians, like Jason Yarde, Ryan Quigley, Shanti Paul Jayasinha, Trevor Mires, Steve Fishwick, Davide Mantovani and many more.
While retaining a traditional big band format, Bansangu consciously steers clear of the traditional big band jazz and swing repertoire, choosing instead to perform self-penned compositions and original arrangements that showcase the rich and diverse musical influences from Brazilian, African, Cuban, Caribbean, Indian and Middle Eastern cultures, all performed with the intelligent skill and sensitivity, which is fast becoming the trademark of this exciting ensemble.
The band’s name comes from the compliment Brazilian percussionist Airto Moreira would pay his band in English: ‘Ban San Goo’, meaning ‘Band Sounds Good!'
This particular project stems from Paul’s love of the classic Beach Boys album Pet Sounds. He decided to transcribe the original album in its entirety to learn the music to its core, before arranging it for this particular line-up. Then came the task of putting the songs into a context that fits within the possibilities and potential of a big band setting.
