It's nearly here ! The Fabulous Red Diesel are putting the finishing touches to their new 14 track album, titled Goddess The Seahorse. Their last album, ‘’The Queensbury House Sessions’’ was B listed on Jazz FM as well as being played on 175 stations across the globe. They are among the new breed of jazz artists, adventurous, risk taking and genre defying. Fronted by singer songwriter, Kat Lee-Ryan, they have a staggering pedigree and an unbelievable amount of underground experience , not to mention the most outrageous tuba -breaks.

2022 has been a very good year for Jazz FM favourites The Fabulous Red Diesel. They played Upstairs at Ronnie Scotts’s, The Cheltenham, Sidmouth and Rye Jazz Festivals, as well as a host of underground indie festivals, all over the south of England.

‘Goddess the Seahorse’ is their 8th album, on their own independent label, Priestess Records,funded by the Help Musicians MOBO fund. It is 14 tracks of superb originality, travelling from swing to blues, soul to indie, elusive as quicksilver and twice as sparkly.Their sound comes from their far-reaching influences, firstly 60’s jazz, with hip-hop rhythm and sensibilities, classical arrangement structures, stark ,honest lyrics, with a warm soul vibe. It's a real gumbo of styles, with the most incredible vocals ,zog trumpets,joined at the hip rhythm section and hooky tunes.

The Fabulous Red Diesel have been together since 2016, when Miss Bea-Have switched from trumpet to double bass, and their already eclectic sound found a new audience, the jazz world. Welcomed onto the Jazz FM airwaves with their last album, The Queensbury House Sessions, The Fabulous Red Diesel finally found a home , and have been wowing Jazz and indie audiences alike ever since.
