 Hot
8 Brass Band
April 17, 2009 8 p.m.
Authentic
New Orleans jazz! No imitations.
The real
thing. These outstanding
musicians have survived
the catastrophe of Katrina and
now they bring their hot jazz to
us. The members of the Hot 8
Brass Band were born and raised
in New Orleans and many began
playing together in high school.
The band plays the famous Second
Line funeral parades; what makes
the Hot 8 so special are the
sounds they coax from their
well-loved, well-worn horns. An
evening with the Hot 8 is like
no other... |

What would you do if you found
