_______________________________________________________________________
Formed in 1990, Revolutionary Snake Ensemble is an
experimental brass band with influences ranging from free jazz
to New Orleans second line to contemporary funk. They capture
the fun of a street parade band while also expanding its
stylistic range. This is their second album. Their first album
received considerable public, radio, and press acclaim. This
is the only CD ever released to include songs written by both
Billy Idol & Ornette Coleman!
The band performs 40-50 times per year. Notable appearances
have included the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the
Krewe of Muses Mardi Gras Parade, the Cambridge River
Festival, ArtBeat, the Central Square World's Fair, Tonic,
First Nights Boston, Providence, & Fall River, the Museum of
Fine Arts of Boston, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Berklee
Performance Center, and numerous other venues. The Snakes have
traveled annually to New Orleans on the Amtrak Crescent train
for the past four years, performing on the train along the
way.
The Ensemble can be heard on Parade of Numbers, an animated
counting piece regularly aired on the television program
Sesame Street.
