    Dennis 'Badbone' Rollins, Britain's foremost funky-jazz trombone player is
    poised to release his début

    full-length album on his own label, Raestar Records. The 10- track
    self-titled album, Badbone, pays

    modern tribute to the 1970's era, is 80% comprised of his own compositions
    and will be distributed in

    major stores commencing May 28th by Mactwo Distribution. An album preview
    performance is

    scheduled for May 6th at Subtone, 117 Promenade, Cheltenham, 01242 575 925.
    Doors open at 7 pm and

    the show starts at 9:30 pm. Ticket prices are £3 before 9 pm and £4
    afterwards.

    Funky dance music with jazz overtones best describes the main thrust of
    Dennis' music. (The last track is

    even further testimony to Dennis' versatility and virtuosity).

    Dennis has been working on this project for several years in-between touring
    with The Courtney Pine

    Band. "The next one definitely won't take as long," declares the former
    Jazz Warrior who has also

    performed and toured with some of the world's top jazz and pop personalities
    and is a preferred session

    player. Dennis' own band, Badbone & Co which was launched last year at the
    Barbican, is gaining a

    strong following and has garnered high praise from many including the likes
    of John L. Walters of The

    Guardian who recently wrote, "...He's a contender, more than ready for his
    moment in the big league."

    The Jazz Café who has invited the band back (April 27th) for a second
    performance in only 4 months

    praises Badbone & Co in their current brochure as, "...one of the most
    entertaining and inviting new funk

    combos currently burning up the UK scene."
