About:
For 25 years trombonist Dennis Rollins has played at the forefront of the UK jazz, funk and pop as an ‘impossibly’ virtuosic’ sideman to such stars such as Maceo Parker, Courtney Pine, The Brand New Heavies, Blur, Tom Jones and as an award-winning leader in his own right.

A previous winner of the 2006 BBC Jazz 'Best Band' Award in 2006, the Parliamentary Jazz 'Education' Award; Ronnie Scott's 'Best Trombone' Award and others, Rollins’ latest project is the Velocity Trio, a brilliant marriage of refined contemporary jazz arrangements with simmering grooves that appeals to multiple generations of jazz, funk and world music fans.

Featuring Hammond organ virtuoso Ross Stanley and fiery drummer Joel Barford, their unique trombone-Hammond organ-drums line-up honours the jazz tradition while at the same time pushing it forward, incorporating Dennis’ trademark ‘rock & funk’ style.
