The New Birth Brass Band: D-Boy
ByThe band's party music is up-tempo and crisp. While the lyrics are loaded with double entendre, the band's straightforward approach to the music results in an enjoyable listen. Providing authenticity to their outdoors street band persona, the trumpeters are slightly out of tune with each other and enjoy losing control on the occasional high, screeching, phrase-ending bar. Combining "down on the bayou" Caribbean rhythms with trad jazz and blues charm, the New Birth Brass Band's contagious enthusiasm appeals to everyone.
