Widely recognised as a seminal figure in world jazz, trumpeter and composer Byron has travelled the world recording, teaching and performing alongside legendary musicians. Back in 2019 Filthy Lucre commissioned Byron to write music for 8 musicians responding to Peter Shenai’s "Hurricane Bells". Peter is a contemporary artist who has cast 5 bells, whose shapes are modelled on the structure of Hurricane Katrina. This piece is an exploration of the socio-political economic climate where their sound resonates.
