About London Brass
London Brass is the UK’s longest-established brass ensemble, formed in 1986 upon the retirment of Philip Jones, where some of the members from his famous group, moved forward into new territory.
With trail-blazing recordings on our own label and with Warner Classics, our ten players bring together a rich mix of musical backgrounds — from orchestral principals to film-score & jazz soloists. We’ve performed for audiences around the world and loved sharing our music through education work along the way.
