Khrys Williams and The Red Line Arsenal

“This big band is the sickest thing I’ve ever heard!” — You, hopefully

The Red Line Arsenal is a 16+-piece big band led by Khrys Williams that was formed to bring the concept of the big band into a newer light. By playing a jazz-inspired repertoire from a multitude of origins - from jazz standards to pop music to anime and movie soundtracks - their lineup ties together the old with the new and delivers a great experience for everyone. The band consists of some of the greatest musicians of a new generation in its lineup, alongside some true NYC music veterans. When you put 16 (or more) of them together in a room, the Red Line Arsenal is guaranteed to deliver an unforgettable show.

Khrys Williams (they/them) is a trumpeter, composer, and arranger who’s best known as a principal arranger and musician with the J-MUSIC Ensemble and a trumpeter on such works as Joe Iconis’ musical Broadway Bounty Hunter.

Since Khrys wrote their first piece for big band (inspired by video game soundtracks) at age 15, a love for music started an incredible journey from a small Texas town of 12,000 to the Manhattan School of Music (MSM). After arriving in New York City and MSM to study jazz composition under Grammy Award-winning composer/arranger Jim McNeely, Khrys grew to create a unique vision of what a big band could be and graduated in 2017. Khrys has composed and arranged works that have collectively amassed more than 4 million views and streams on digital media and continues to drive to demonstrate their works and a vision of the future of jazz to a wider audience.
