Without a doubt, the ReBirth Brass Band
is the king of the brass-band genre. The invigorating music that sounds
so spontaneous is the combination of natural born talent, dedication, spirit,
and a complete immersion in the New Orleans street tradition. The group
maintains a proud tradition of funeral brass bands that play a slow dirge
on the way to the cemetery, and then perform lively tunes on the way to
the wake. Committed to upholding this institution while at the same time
incorporating modern music into their show, the band blends everything from
jazz-rock to bebop taking the party sound and mixing it with a spiritual
side. Their energizing and spontaneous sound, signature brand of heavy funk,
and youthful fun loving feel, has made them a hands-down favorite among
the younger generation. ReBirth incorporates a wide range of genres into
its sound; they have thrived by successfully integrating jazz history with
funk and using infectious syncopation and rhythms absorbed from reggae,
hip-hop and pop.
With their new release, Hot Venom, the ReBirth Brass Band pays a long-overdue
homage to the streets that inspire them. The New York Times wrote of the
band’s musical duality, "ReBirth can be precise whenever it wants
to, but it’s more like a party than a machine, as minigroups form and
dissolve at any moment." |
