Big Butter and the Eggmen

Big Butter And The Eggmen is a sextet based in New York City led by bassist and composer Noah Garabedian. This horn-heavy ensemble includes Anna Webber on tenor saxophone, Kyle Wilson on tenor saxophone, Curtis MacDonald on alto saxophone, Kenny Warren on trumpet, and Alex Ritz on drums. The band was inspired by a prolonged Louis Armstrong phase in Mr. Garabedian’s life, coupled with his love for JS Bach and West African Wassoulou music. Initially, the formation of this band was driven by a desire to have a band where all of the musicians could comp for each other without a chordal instrument, and the creation of a large ensemble that can go from six musicians improvising collectively to just a duo or solo instrument was the result.
