YoungBlood Brass Band - Word On The Streets 1998


YoungBlood Brass Band - Word On The Streets 1998
Label: E Pluribus Bumpus Music

Jazz

YoungBlood's new CD is out! Entitled "Word On The Street", this follow-up to the band's 1997 release as the One Lard Biskit Brass Band, "Better Recognize", further demonstrates the group's command over all varities of New Orleans-based music. Powered by an impressive set of original songs by leader/Sousaphonist Nat McIntosh, this disc also features original contributions from Bass Drummer Moses Patrou and Trumpeter Chuck Wagner. Songs such as "New Blood" and "Get Out Da Way" speak of hiphop seeping into the music of the streets, and other cuts like "Word On The Street" and "I Hope" pay homage to the age-old heritage of traditional jazz. "It's All In There" uses an afro-brazilian based vamp to set up the horns and drums, and YoungBlood's frequent cross-genre drum grooves don't just move the music along, they throw it down, stomp on it, and ask it if it's had enough! Combining powerful horns, a driving bassline, and an unparalleled rhythm section, the YoungBlood Brass Ba! nd truly has "the beat to match your feet."
This debut release from the YoungBlood Brass Band combines the traditional jazz from New Orleans with slammin horn lines and hiphop/Afro-Cuban drumbeats, creating a totally new sound in "world" music. Get ready to lose yourself in this groove. Is it Jazz? HipHop? World? Who cares. It's time to party. Now who's down?
