Hot 8 Brass Band - Big Tuba CD

The album delves into the traditional jazz heritage of their hometown of New Orleans. The vinyl release includes a special 3-colour A-Side/B-Side vinyl, a 12" poster insert, and an exclusive 7" featuring "Let's Stay Together", and the band's iconic cover of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing (Bossman Edit)", making its vinyl debut.

The album title is a heartfelt tribute to Bennie Pete, the band's co-founder and sousaphone player:
"On September 6 2021, we, the Hot 8 Brass Band, lost our beloved bandleader, Bennie Pete. He was more than just our leader; he was a constant galvanising force within our own family of fellow musicians and beyond. Bennie was a rock in our lives. He was a leader, a teacher, and a mentor. Bennie helped all of us endure, to heal by encouraging us to continue to play our music despite any adversities." - Hot 8 Brass Band
