“If you ever wanted to hear the “real thing” in New Orleans street parade tradition, now is your chance. The Treme Brass Band recorded this album with the kind of abandon and happiness that one does not usually get to hear on record. The eight musicians and Mr. Youngblood were all together in the studio, no headphones, just listening to each other and having a great time. The Treme Brass Band is rapidly becoming the brass band of choice in New Orleans. No matter how technically proficient one is at their instrument, nothing replaces the “Street beat” feeling, and the Treme gives you that feeling every time! This is classic, funky New Orleans brass-band music recorded live in the studio, and just one listen will easily demonstrate why the National Endowment for the Arts named the Treme Brass Band a national treasure.” Gary EDWARDS
