[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans Brass Bands article

[Bert Thompson]

The following item was on another list (UK) I subscribe to.  

>There's a magazine that came free with my Sunday Paper (Telegraph), and it's got 10 fascinating pages on New Orleans entitled, "Y'all ready for the Rebirth?" complete with superb colourful pictures. It's mainly about the Rebirth Brass Band, but mentions the Treme Brass Band and the Red Bull Street Kings. But you don't have to rush out and buy a paper, you can read it on line at http://tinyurl.com/2vqul53 . The magazine is called The Red Bulletin, just click on the four squares at the top of the page (index) and navigate to page 68. Click on the picture to enlarge, and click on the edge to turn the page. Just like reading the real thing. Peter Osborn writes, "Thanks for the pointer to the Red Bulletin ... a very interesting article. The photos are probably even better online than in print."<

While I am not a devotee of the funk and hip-hop that the newer brass bands play in New Orleans, I did find the article interesting reading.


Regards,
Bert Thompson
