Z2 Entertainment is proud to present Rebirth Brass Band at the Fox Theatre on Friday, July 22nd. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 17th at 10:00am.
New Album, "Rebirth of New Orleans" reaches the #9 position on Billboard Jazz Charts in 4 weeks & #1 on CMJ Jazz Chart!!Hailed by the New York Times as "a New Orleans institution," the Rebirth Brass Band have been at the forefront of the brass band revival that they helped kick off almost 30 years ago. Formed by the Frazier brothers, Phil and Keith, along with Basin Street labelmate Kermit Ruffins in 1983, The Rebirth Brass band has gone from playing on corners in the French Quarter to selling out concert halls across the world and appearing in David Simon's HBO hit "Tremé."It's been a long road, but The Rebirth Brass Band has become one of the most beloved brass bands in New Orleans and around the world.
Since their founding, they've developed a signature brand of heavy funk that they expand upon on their latest effort, Rebirth of New Orleans. Opener "Exactly Like You" starts the album off with a rollicking, Mardi Gras stomp. "The Dilemma"
and "Do It Again" find the group locking in to a down-tempo, Latin-influenced grooves, anchored by Phil Frazier's tuba. And "Shrimp and Gumbo" and
"Feelin' Fine" find the band effortlessly perfecting the New Orleans-style brass lines that put the city on the map.
Rebirth Brass Band were featured in the opening scene of David Simon's hit HBO show "Tremé" as well as on the GRAMMY® nominated soundtrack. No band exemplifies the essence and soul of New Orleans like Rebirth Brass Band.
