Our Take

Ah, TUBA FATS CHOSEN FEW BRASS BAND & JAZZMEN with their latest offering, "Street Music." This album is a delightful fusion of traditional brass band sounds with a modern jazz twist that is guaranteed to get your feet tapping and your hips swaying.

From the opening track, "Second Line Strut," it's clear that this band means business. The infectious energy and tight musicianship on display here will make you feel like you're right in the heart of New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

Tracks like "Bayou Boogie" and "Funky Frenchmen" showcase the band's ability to blend classic brass band melodies with funky grooves and soulful improvisation. The result is a sound that is both timeless and fresh, a true testament to the band's musical prowess.

But it's not all high-energy party tunes on "Street Music." The album also features more introspective tracks like "Midnight Serenade" and "Garden District Blues," where the band's emotive playing shines through, tugging at your heartstrings and transporting you to a smoky jazz club in the French Quarter.

Overall, TUBA FATS CHOSEN FEW BRASS BAND & JAZZMEN have crafted a truly special album with "Street Music." It's a joyous celebration of the rich musical heritage of New Orleans, brought to life by a band that clearly knows how to have a good time. So grab a drink, hit play, and let the good times roll.
