Concert information

Review
Anthony Joseph and the Spasm Band is a must see. The musicians juggle incredibly between brassy funk, caribbean sweaty beats and a jazz that Alice Coltrane and her Monastic Trio would have looked up to. Anthony Joseph and the Spasm band is one of the best bands you can listen to today. Simply put.

Anthony Joseph and the Spasm Band est un groupe à ne pas manquer sur scène. Son leader charismatique enchaine les pas calypso en suivant de sa voix possédée le rythme de ses musiciens, qui enchainent à merveille funk puissante, beats caribéens et jazz élégant, quasi coltranien. Anthony Joseph and the Spasm Band est un des meilleurs groupes actuels. Tout simplement.
