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.
