About Too Many Zooz
Hailing from the bustling subway platforms of New York City, Too Many Zooz burst onto the global scene with their infectious “brasshouse” sound and viral videos showcasing their mesmerising street performances. The trio comprises the inimitable Leo Pellegrino on saxophone, Matt “Doe” Muir on drums, and David “King of Sludge” Parks on trumpet. Their distinctive style fuses the improvisational spirit of jazz, the rhythmic drive of funk, the pulsating energy of EDM, and the raw power of rock, creating a sound that defies categorisation and demands movement.
From their humble beginnings busking in subway stations, they quickly garnered international acclaim, captivating audiences with their virtuosic musicianship and electrifying stage presence. Tracks like “Brasshouse Volume 1”, “Subway Gawdz”, and “Knoo” have become fan favourites, showcasing their ability to craft intricate melodies and thunderous grooves. Pellegrino’s unique dance moves and powerful saxophone solos are legendary, perfectly complemented by Muir’s relentless drumming and Parks’ soulful trumpet calls. Their music is an organic, evolving beast, constantly pushing boundaries and delivering an experience that is as much a workout as it is a concert. The current lineup remains the iconic trio, ensuring that the raw, unadulterated Too Many Zooz energy is fully intact for their Bristol faithful.
The Jam Jar: The Perfect Setting
Nestled in Bristol’s historic Old Market Quarter, The Jam Jar (BS2 9EB) stands as a beacon for independent music and culture. This beloved venue is far more than just four walls and a stage; it’s a cornerstone of Bristol’s diverse artistic landscape, celebrated for its commitment to showcasing cutting-edge artists and fostering a vibrant community spirit. Its location, just a stone’s throw from the city centre, makes it easily accessible yet retains an authentic, slightly off-the-beaten-path charm.
The Jam Jar’s history is steeped in a passion for live performance, having hosted countless memorable nights across a myriad of genres. With an intimate capacity, typically accommodating a few hundred people, it offers an unparalleled closeness between artist and audience. This proximity creates an electric, immersive atmosphere, ensuring every beat and every note resonates deeply within the crowd. The venue’s industrial aesthetic, exposed brickwork, and excellent sound system contribute to a raw, authentic gig experience that perfectly complements Too Many Zooz’s unbridled energy. While specific accessibility details should always be confirmed directly with the venue, The Jam Jar generally strives to be welcoming, often featuring ground-floor access for many events.
What to Expect at the Show
Prepare for an auditory and physical assault of the best kind when Too Many Zooz take over The Jam Jar. Their live shows are legendary for their high-octane energy and spontaneous brilliance, and Bristol will be no exception. Expect a dynamic setlist that seamlessly blends fan favourites from their “Brasshouse Volume 1” and “Subway Gawdz” eras with newer, perhaps unreleased, material. Classics like “Caravan” and “Brasshouse Jam” are almost guaranteed to ignite the dancefloor, alongside plenty of opportunities for the trio’s renowned improvisational solos and collective jams.
The stage production for a Too Many Zooz show is typically minimalistic, allowing the raw talent and boundless energy of Leo, Matt, and David to take centre stage. Expect dynamic lighting to accentuate the rhythm and intensity of their performance, creating a visual spectacle that matches the sonic onslaught. The atmosphere will be nothing short of electric; a sweaty, pulsating mass of humanity united by the irresistible urge to dance. Audience participation is a given, with call-and-response moments and collective grooves forming an integral part of the experience. It’s not just a concert; it’s a communal celebration of music and movement.

Several local bus routes also serve the Old Market area, with stops just a short stroll from the venue; check local timetables for routes such as the 6, 7, 8, and 9.
If you’re driving, be aware that street parking in the immediate vicinity can be limited.
