Rebirth Of No

Good old New Orleans 2nd Line. Classic release from rebirth. Timeless melodies for any occasion. If you got Nawlins in you, get this and any other Rebirth release you can find. Highlights of this album include What Goes Around Comes Around, Do It Again, Why Your Feet Hurt & Let's Go Get Em. Can't get tired of this.👌👍🥳😛

This is some very fine New Orleans Jazz right here. Every song on this album is great. They make you want to grove - a very fun band to listen to. The recording is well done. Buy it - you will not be disappointed.

Saw them live in New Orleans a few years ago and bought their CDs as soon as we could. Great music, fun to listen to. Despite the Grammy, they're not as well known as they should be. If you ever have the chance to see them live, just do it. You'll never regret it.

Great album

Awesome music for da Mardi Gras!

I caught Rebirth at the Gasparilla Music Fest in Tampa, then immediately bought their new album. This is a solid brass band, talented as hell, just unrefined enough to be "authentic", and the tracks are a pretty good mix of traditional New Orleans brass band stuff and the new Rebirth Brass Band sound. Great stuff.

What's to say?! Good music, well-performed, and well-recorded. Enjoy!!!

Love the Rebirth Brass Band! This is a good collection of their music. Fun to listen to and reminds me of being in NOLA!

I bought this CD as a present for my father and he insisted that I borrow it as the music was so good. Although I have heard a French brass ensemble perform a lot of this music with enthusiastic gusto in a live setting on numerous occasions, there is an energy and robustness about Rebirth which , in my opinion, leaves their competitors standing. As much as I love the work of the other New Orleans Brass Band, the Dirty Dozen, Rebirth's music is far earthier and definately seems to take it's cues from the musics that eminate from the street. There is an an element of this band being extremely loose but this is countered by some of the most infectious grooves you can hear in jazz in 2011. Although the anticedents of Rebirth go right back to the very origins of jazz itself, this feels far more contemporary and authentic than anything Wynton Marsalis has produced. In fact, Rebirth are the antithesis of Wynton's more cold approach to jazz heritage, refracting the music into something that is living and of it's time. They sound different from the kind of revivalist jazz you hear but the likes of Papa Celestin would immediately recognise this as his kind of music. Until the mid-60's when the likes of Lester Bowie and Albert Ayler started to show an interest in more archaic forms of jazz, the history of the music had tended to see a change to a more European and perhaps cerebral approach. Although I am a massive fan of modern jazz, the timbre of early jazz definately help define for me an important ingredient of what the music should be about and wild abandon of Rebirth's playing demonstrates why the best jazz has that degree of abrasiveness that immediately separates jazz from other forms of music. A degree of "dirtiness" within the playing is an essnential component for me, whether it is Louis, Ellington, Ornette or Dave Douglas. The horn players in Rebirth are well versed in the more vocal extremes of the music that were prevalent in the 1920's and have managed to marry this with a predeliction for funky bass lines. Like some of their more illustrious forebears, Rebirth's style of jazz is essentially dance music and where there are vocals (usually by the band members in a call-and-response fashion) the lyrics display the same kind of innuendo of which Jelly Roll Morton would heartily approve.Generally, I am always on the look-out for new, up and coming jazz musicians and have readily snapped up discs by the likes of Gretchen Parlato, Walter Smith III and Ambrose Akinmusire this year. All of these records have been higely impressive. However, "The Rebirth of New Orelans" ably demonstrates just how you overlook the vitality of more traditional forms of jazz at your peril and I would have no hesitation is classing this brass band disc as one of the best of 2011. Simply put, it is impossible not to be impressed by the vibrant music on this disc. Thoroughly recommended.

Saw them live in New Orleans. Absolutely brilliant CD - funky, loud, full of energy. If you like your brass, buy it.

Enormous fun

REBIRTH BRASS BAND, DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND... grupos nacidos al amparo de la fanfarria de New Orleans, que la llevan hasta las formas actuales, tanto en el mundo del Jazz, como en el Soul, el R&B o el Blues, siempre con el común denominador de la tradición musical de principios de siglo y la raíz afro-americana. Junto a ellos, Lester Bowie en el pasado, su hermano Joe Bowie y DEFUNKT, Arthur Blythe y más actualmente TROMBONE SHORTY llevaron al extremo aquello de partir de una raíz y fundirla con el presente.En este nuevo trabajo de la REBIRTH nos encontramos con lo mismito que llevan haciendo dos décadas: diversión, estridencia, ritmos adictivos y mucho mucho sentimiento. Orgánicos como pocos, nada amigos de la pomposidad y el arreglo repujado, "Rebirth Of New Orleans" es al mismo tiempo un juego de palabras con su nombre, su música y la propia realidad del Estado americando después de la debacle natural del Katrina.No esperes nada más allá de resoplidos y ritmos marciales: todo lo que puedas imaginar de las fanfarrias afro-americanas que tanto valían para un cumpleaños como para un funeral, siempre derrochando energía y vitalidad, lo tienes en este disco que de entusiasmante se hace cortísimo. Una oda a la diversión y la simpleza.

OK
