The Fabulous Red Diesel (Album Launch)
Since their founding in 2016, the Fabulous Red Diesel have left a unique imprint on the UK music scene! Describing their eclectic mix of swing, blues, soul and indie as “elusive as quicksilver and twice as sparkly”, their 2020 album, ‘The Queensbury House Sessions’ was discovered by leading jazz radio station Jazz FM, finding a new audience for the quartet and its enticing ‘gumbo of styles’. From Hastings, the band features Kat Lee-Ryan (vocals/keys/flute), Simon Dobell (trumpet/guitar), Beatrice Gullick (trumpet/bass/tuba) & Will Lee-Ryan (drums), and have played at the Cheltenham, Sidmouth and Rye Jazz Festivals, as well as Ronnie Scott’s and other venues around the UK. Their new record, ‘Goddess the Seahorse’ (supported in part by the MOBO Help Musicians fund), will be launched at this 606 gig, and it promises to be a lively evening filled with character and charm!
"An insouciant playfulness that's fully in accord with jazz tradition." Jazz Journal; "uplifting, musically diverse and well-produced...a collective who mix their ideas and personalities with passion, flair and invention" Something Else; ’This band has made it onto my list of bands I need to see as soon as I physically possibly can" Deb Grant, Jazz FM
