Release Notes:
In their prime, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band successfully mixed together R&B with
the instrumentation of a New Orleans brass band. Featuring Kirk Joseph on
sousaphone playing with the agility of an electric bassist, the group
revitalized the brass band tradition, opening up the repertoire and inspiring
some younger groups to imitate its boldness. Generally featuring five horns (two
trumpets, one trombone, and two saxes) along with the sousaphone, a snare
drummer, and a bass drummer, the DDBB were innovative in their own way, making
fine recordings for Rounder, Columbia, and the George Wein Collection (the
latter released through Concord). Guest artists have included Dr. John, Dizzy
Gillespie, and Danny Barker. the DDBB re-emerged in 1999 with John Medeski as
their producer, and many called the group's Buck Jump release a return to
classic form. The group then returned in 2002 with yet another surprising album,
Medicated Magic. Two years later, the band made its Artemis label debut with
Funeral for a Friend. In 2006, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the DDBB
issued their most ambitious album to date, What's Going On, a wide-ranging
musical tour de force that was a track-for-track remake of Marvin Gaye's classic
1971 album. In addition to the DDBB, it also featured the talents of many
musicians from the Crescent City. The album was not so much a response to
Hurricane Katrina itself, but to the subsequent treatment of New Orleanians by
the city government and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In 2011,
the group issued My Feet Can't Fail Me Now, a further extrapolation on Crescent
City traditions wedded to hip-hop, modern R&B, funk, and rock. In the spring of
2012, DDBB issued the more traditional Twenty Dozen, their debut offering for
Savoy Jazz.
