Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - Brass In Africa

really nice "Shaft in Africa" rework.
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is a 9-piece, New York-based jazz group featuring 8 sons of Phil Cohran on horns. Originally from Chicago, the brothers started as a street ensemble before recording in 2004. They have performed with Mos Def, Aquilla Sadalla and Phil Cohran. In late 2007 they recorded with Erykah Badu and Maxwell (musician) Maxwell's latest effort. In 2007 they played at the North Sea Jazz Festival.

I'm lived in Chicago my entire life (37yrs)and I used to love to see these guys play on STATE ST. in DOWNTOWN CHICAGO! They may be based elsewhere now, but they were born and bred in the CHI. This is a mix of Chicago Southside and Westside musical influences. Recognize.

El ejemplo perfecto de que hemos escuchado tantos ensambles con bateria y bronces que cuando suenan solos escuchamos sin querer el resto.
The perfect example that we have heard so many ensembles with brass and drums that when they sound alone, we can hear the rest without search it.

Saw these guys live at greenbelt... damn they are better live. gave my friend a drumstick and another a towel, i asked for his shoes. and they are nothing like from chigago influenced, this is jazz/ funk/rock fusion!!
