Event information

Australian/UK saxophonist and composer Brandon Allen’s new groove project performs brand new contemporary jazz/groove compositions as well as fresh interpretations of unheard material from Brandon’s previous funk outfit (Double Whisky Amnesia), rearranged specifically for this lineup. Musical influences include Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Eddie Harris, John Scofield, Lalo Schifrin, Tom Scott, David Sanborn, the Brecker Brothers and Vangelis. Expect funky baselines, otherworldly drum grooves, soaring synthesisers and intricate and intoxicating sax/guitar melodies.'... A superb blend of diverse improvisation and stellar ensemble interaction...'‘...A saxophone heavyweight, at the height of his powers...’ Blues and Soul Magazine. Although it’s a relatively new group, the band has already sold out two nights at Ronnie Scott’s and has a busy touring schedule in the works for 2023/24.

In the band at Off the Rails are Mike Outram (guitar), Jim Watson (keys), Dave Jones (bass) and Jamie Murray (drums).
