Hot 8 Brass Band

Hot 8 Brass Band

 

New Orleans' Grammy-nominated Hot 8 Brass Band return to honour their late co-founder and sousaphone player Bennie Pete.

As much a hip hop act as a brass one, many styles and musical inspirations of Hot 8 shine though as they tell their many stories with great songs infused with jazz, blues, funk and a heightening hip hop influence.

While the roaring success of inspired cover versions - including Sexual Healing and Ghost Town - may have widened their renown, this innately talented ensemble, ensconced in New Orleans musical and sociological heritage, have lyrical depth and dexterity, compositional chops and improvisational flair to spare.

Sparkling hooks, charged vocals and dynamic rhythms wind out into expressive and playful horn solo breaks. Life, death, tragedy and revelry come together in a bittersweet sonic stew, showcasing a poignant and spirited dedication for a lost musician and friend, and one raucous party.
