The New Basics Brass Band?
It’s party music. Nothing wrong with that - but it is not art.
Most of what you’ll hear in NOLA is party music - Dr. John personifies that.
Allen Toussaint is a step above - and he became more artistic when Katrina
forced him out. The same with Henry Butler.
As far as the brass bands: Endless riffs on a Bb7th chord over the 3-2
clavé. The louder, higher & faster you play, the more the drunks & stoners
like it.
However, two brass bands caught my attention:
The one lead by trumpeter Leroy Jones which has a delicate charm to it and
mainly plays the traditional repertoire - this track comes from their album.
The live videos are less satisfying. Not great art, but very musical -

The New Orleans NightCrawlers approaches art through it’s interesting
arrangements - written by pianist Tom McDermott who also charted the recent
Dukes of Dixieland pieces.

This piece is dedicated to Henry Butler. While just a blues, the rhythmic
line of the tuba & the interplay makes me dizzy. Tom McDermott plays the
piano solo - this is the most jazzy artistic brass band recording I’ve ever
heard.
