“…a relentlessly funky, versatile big band studded with horns and percussion…”
- Jonathan Zwickel (Seattle Times)

“…badass…collective funk-groove armada…trump-tight chops…one of Seattle's tightest funk/soul/breaks powerhouses (headed by the inestimable drumming of Aaron Walker-Loud)…” - Larry Mizell Jr. (The Stranger)

*******

It all began when the world-famous Seattle-based breaking crew, The Massive Monkees, invited Aaron Walker-Loud (Big World Breaks founder, drummer and band director) to provide music at breakdancing competitions and jams in the early 2000’s. Putting together a team for such events took a need for players with versatility, power and improvisation skills. Walker-Loud dug deep into the funk, soul, jazz and world music communities to build the right crew for the job. Many of these players are Garfield and Roosevelt High School jazz ensemble alumni and were members of Iguales and The Flood. After the production team began working regularly within the mighty Seattle breakdancing scene (Circle of Fire, Soul Shifters, Fraggle Rock Crew, BYC, Massive Monkees) the word got around quickly and the B.W.B. movement snow-balled. Big World Breaks now stands as a serious force to be reckoned with on stage and in the studio, directing and supporting numerous acts with their musical works.
