Julian Joseph: The Brown Bomber

Commissioned by HMDT Music

Sunday 15 July 2012

Acclaimed jazz artists Julian Joseph and choreographer Sheron Wray pack a punch, with HMDT Music's knockout new dance work The Brown Bomber.

Based on the heroic sporting battle in 1938 between African American boxer Joe Louis and German boxer Max Schmeling, Julian Joseph's new dance suite The Brown Bomber brings to life the connection between two athletes once adversaries in sport, whose friendship endured, despite the ideological opposition by which they were both surrounded.

Performed by a squad of young dancers and The Julian Joseph Sextet, this ringside tribute pulls no punches.
