MODERN BRASS BANDS

Après un “Sound Of New Orleans“, déjà compilé par Jean Buzelin, qui présentait toutes les musiques enregistrées par Gary Edwards, voici un nouveau panorama issu de son catalogue SONO, réservé cette fois aux brass bands, ces fanfares qui défilent dans les rues et accompagnent chaque événement des quartiers : parades, fêtes, funérailles, carnavals. 

Un mélange roboratif et coloré, parfumé et épicé, un gumbo musical unique qui fait toute la saveur de la ville et l’a aidé à se redresser courageusement après la tragédie de Katrina.

Following a “Sound of New Orleans” already compiled by Jean Buzelin which featured all the genres of music recorded by Gary Edwards, this is a new compilation drawn from his SONO catalogue but this time covering the brass bands that marched through the streets at every local event: parades, parties, funerals and carnivals.
A colorful, invigorating, hot and spicy mix, a unique musical gumbo seasoned with the city’s personal flavor, which gave it the courage to rebuild itself after the tragedy of Katrina.
