Billy Marrows' Grande Família

A dynamic, compact version of Billy Marrows' critically acclaimed 12-piece chamber-jazz ensemble, the Grande Família Sextet features a powerful combination of three horns, guitar and an explosive rhythm section.

This gig is the penultimate date of Grande Família's spring 2025 tour, celebrating the release of their second album 'The Penelope Album Live', released on Discus Music on 28th March. The record captures their emotionally charged 2024 performance at Pizza Express Jazz Club in London, which sold out two months in advance and received a full standing ovation.

Grande Família was formed to record Billy's debut album, ‘Penelope', as a surprise for his mum during her struggle with pancreatic cancer. Released in her memory in early 2024, it has raised over £5,450 for World Child Cancer. This gig will also feature lots of new music, inspired by the likes of Weather Report, Gil Evans and Loose Tubes.
