With the release of their new second single from the latest EP, the Belgian Jamaican Jazz Orchestra stays true to their roots while introducing a vintage, organic feel to their sound.

Under the innovative guidance of guitarist Wouter Rosseel, celebrated for his work with Pura Vida, Lee Scratch Perry, and The Congos, the Orchestra’s latest single, “Say Whut?!” is out today. This tune spotlights the trombone, opening with a powerful, groovy, and steady bassline. The guitar weaves in sweet riffs, supported by a horn section that sustains a funky, rebellious riff throughout the piece.

Artwork – Jamaican Jazz Orchestra ‘Brain Freeze’

Celebrated for their seamless fusion of Jamaican roots and jazz, the Jamaican Jazz Orchestra emerges from the same lineage as the ska pioneers, The Skatalites, propelled by the individual brilliance of its jazz virtuosos. Their music serves as a canvas for the musicians to display their prowess. Returning with a new single from the fresh EP, the Belgian Jamaican Jazz Orchestra maintains their authentic essence while infusing a vintage, earthy ambiance into their sound.

Guided by the innovative compositions of guitarist Wouter Rosseel (known for his work with Pura Vida, Lee Scratch Perry, and The Congos), the Orchestra’s latest single, “Brain Freeze,” draws inspiration from the rhythmic bassline of a track from the soundtrack of the film ‘Les Triplettes De Belleville’. Incorporating a delightful, jazzy horn riff, an evocative open-string guitar melody, and authentic Jamaican percussion, the song encapsulates a complete groove. Notably, it showcases an Ernest Ranglin-inspired guitar solo, adding a touch of virtuosity to the ensemble.
