Hey Folks:
It’s Tuesday and I feel the need to share some ‘new’ music with you. In actuality the music I’ll be sharing here isn’t new as in newly released music but I’m hoping it will be a new type of music. A genre or artist that you’ve never heard of that I believe you the B.O.N.E. Chronicles reader might find interesting.
Today’s new music is from the Rebirth Brass Bandwhich consists of 9 members; 2 drummers (Keith Frazier & Derrick Tabb), 2 trumpet players (Derrick Shezbie & Glen Andrews), 2 trombone players (Corey Henry & Stafford Agee), 2 Saxophone players (Vincent Broussard & Byron (Flee) Bernard and a Tuba player (Phil Fraizer) who is the band leader.
The Rebirth Brass Band is a New Orleans band that began in 1982 founded by brothers Philip & Keith Frazier and Kermit Ruffins. The band was comprised of friends from their H.S. marching band in the Treme neighborhood of NOLA. Rebirth was discovered at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival they same year they formed and went on to record their first studio album in 1984. Rebirth is known for combining traditional New Orleans brass band music with funk, jazz, soul and hip hop influences. Rebirth’s discography includes 14 albums between 1984 and 2008.

Until next time…
