In support of their latest CD
release, On the Funky Side (currently
charting on the CMJ and The Roots Music Report Charts), Jambalaya Brass Band
will be returning to perform at the renowned Brooklyn Bowl on Tuesday, August
13, 2013 at 8:00 pm. “Brooklyn Bowl
blows our minds . . . it’s one of the most incredible places on Earth,” says Rolling Stone. This popular NY venue specializes in good
food, including its ‘world famous fried chicken,’ Brooklyn-brewed beer and great
music by some of the nation’s most promising rising stars. Jambalaya Brass Band’s previous
CD, It’s a Jungle Out There, resulted
in heavy broadcast radio rotation on eighty-five stations nationwide, as well
as countless national and worldwide Internet radio stations, and charted in the
top five of the CMJ Charts, The Roots Music Report and the Cashbox Charts. This tight and tasty ensemble is the ultimate
New Orleans party band which On The Funky
Side reaffirms yet again with style and gusto, and Jambalaya Brass Band
live is a flat-out celebration from start to finish.
At Brooklyn Bowl, along with tunes from On the Funky Side and their previous successful
CD It’s a Jungle Out There, Jambalaya
Brass Band will be performing other original and traditional favorites. The band’s foundation will be provided by Ralph
Hamperian on sousaphone, Kevin Raczka on snare drum, and Chauncey Yearwood on
Bass Drum & cymbal—and this rhythm section cooks on high octane, so be sure
to wear your dancing shoes! Filling out
this tasty gumbo and adding the spice on top will be the trombone of Stafford
Hunter, the trumpet of Steve Gluzband, and the tenor sax of leader and founder
Ric Frank, an alumnus of the Duke Ellington Orchestra.
"
Jambalaya could stand side-by-side with . . . any New Orleans brass band in
terms of sheer exuberance and energy . . . a party from start to finish."—Henry Smith for
All About Jazz
The Jambalaya Brass Band is a group of
seasoned musical pros from a variety of impressive previous musical settings as
diverse as the Duke Ellington Orchestra to the Lounge Lizards, yet they have a
knack for integrating these disparate musical experiences into one dynamic
setting. These seasoned New York
purveyors of authentic American ‘roots’ music play a delightful spicy musical
gumbo of New Orleans fare influenced by the likes of Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll
Morton, Louis Armstrong, Rebirth and Dirty Dozen brass bands, straight through
to the heights of their own modern sounds that incorporate elements of R&B,
Gospel, Funk, Latin and Be-bop. They
embody the history of the best American music of the last hundred years while
at the same time suggesting a prescient trajectory of America’s musical
future. The Band’s arrangements are
original and innovative while the playing is simultaneously precise and
spontaneous, yet all is conceived with imagination and wit. After-all, this is New Orleans party music
and Jambalaya Brass Band is always a joyous musical celebration as they have
proven on many occasions. Playing On the Funky Side at a party is a sure
bet, and seeing these talented players live really brings the party directly
home to you.
