Can’t make it to New Orleans this year? We’ll bring it to you. Everything this exciting group represents is right there in the name—New Breed Brass Band. This band has a New Orleans pedigree, make no bones about it. Band leader Jenard Andrews’ father is trumpeter James Andrews, and his uncle is Trombone Shorty, so there’s that. Jenard points out that brass bands tend to follow in the slipstream of Rebirth Brass Band, something Shorty noticed and truth-schooled them when he popped into one of their studio jams. Don’t be like Rebirth, he said, “You’ve gotta find your own thing.” And find it, they have. The streets of New Orleans can be heard in their second line cultural roots with plenty of bounce, jazz and funk thrown into the mix. Check out their latest, Made In New Orleans. It’s thrilling and distinctly their own. Now follow that second line!
