Fred Wesley & The New J.B.'s live in Munich

Experience Fred Wesley & The New J.B.'s live on October 7th

Fred Wesley & The New J.B.’s are scheduled to perform at Hotel Bayerischer Hof in Munich, Germany on October 7, 2026. The group carries forward the legacy of James Brown’s original J.B.’s, delivering a high-energy funk and soul experience. Fred Wesley, a trombonist who was a core member of Brown’s bands in the 1960s and 70s, leads the ensemble. Their music is characterized by tight horn arrangements, driving rhythms, and a strong emphasis on groove – foundational elements of funk music as it developed during that era. The New J.B.’s repertoire includes both classic J.B.’s tunes and original compositions reflecting the same spirit.
