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

Experience Fred Wesley & The New J.B.'s live on November 12th

Fred Wesley & The New J.B.’s will perform at Konservi in Seon, Switzerland on November 12, 2026. Fred Wesley is a renowned trombonist and musical director celebrated as a core member of James Brown’s original J.B.’s band during the 1960s and 70s. The New J.B.’s continue that legacy, delivering a high-energy funk and soul sound characterized by tight horn arrangements, driving rhythms, and improvisational solos. Their music is deeply rooted in the tradition of American funk, drawing heavily from jazz, soul, and R&B influences.

Konservi is a cultural venue located in the former Knorr-Hansen canning factory in Seon, Aargau canton. Originally established in 2014, it has become known for hosting a diverse range of events including concerts, club nights, and art exhibitions. The space retains much of its industrial aesthetic – concrete floors and high ceilings – contributing to its unique atmosphere. It focuses on showcasing both established and emerging artists across genres like jazz, electronic music, rock and world music with an emphasis on quality sound and intimate concert experiences.
