Dennis Rollins is well known on the British and international jazz scene, celebrated for his versatility and unique approach to the underrated trombone.  His mighty sound can be heard to full effect in his award winning band Badbone & Co’s repertoire of groove-based, funky dance music with jazz overtones.

Born in 1964 in the Midlands to Jamaican parents, and raised in South Yorkshire, Dennis cut his teeth at the age of 14 studying and performing with The Doncaster Youth Jazz Association.  After years of study, Dennis moved to London and began playing with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra(NYJO), and the legendary all-black jazz big band The Jazz Warriors. Over the years, Dennis, now based in Doncaster, has established a reputation as an artist of excelence, and has lent his unique and stylish talents to some of the country’s, and indeed the world’s top jazz and pop personalities such as Courtney Pine, Baba Maal, Jamiroquai, US3, Brand New Heavies , and Blur.
