Day 2 
song: Shotgun Boogie
artist: The Shotgun Wedding Quintet

Shotgun Boogie is a song made popular in the 1950s by Cab Calloway, written by Tennessee Ernie Ford. In 2011, Jazz Mafia’s Shotgun Wedding Quintet was invited to create and perform our interpretations of Calloway's music at the Hotplate series produced by SFJAZZ. Even though we were on a 2 month tour, we had to take the opportunity because we thought it was such a perfect fit. In much of my spare time I had my laptop open in the van and was chopping up old Calloway recordings, making new beats, bending them into new compositions, reworking the old ones, basically just doing our Shotgun Quintet thing to these songs. Dublin is a perfect fit for this project and dove in head first as well. 

The Hotplate event turned out to be a major success in many ways. Somehow we managed to get a 10 song set together and rehearsed and I was really happy with the wide range of music in it and how it featured the unique players in the group. We had recently done a gig with Digital Underground and invited Shock G to come by; much to our surprise the one and only Humpty Hump appeared along with legendary Bay Area rapper Ray Luv, who is Cab Calloways grandson! Yes, it was a very memorable, unique night! I still have my Humpty Glasses/nose that Shock gave me!  Here’s some footage of the show:

In 2013 we went into Bird and Egg studios and recorded some of our favorite Cab Calloway reworkings in a really memorable live session. Everyone in the band was spitting hot fire and Joe Bagale did a great job of capturing the magic in that awesome studio.

This song has got a serious hillbilly twang to it, so it’s even more bizarre having a post millennium eclectic Hip-Hop group doing a fusion-Jazz version of it but we had a wild time with this! Guitarist Jon Monahan kicks it off with a wild solo over Brandon Werlin’s complicated drum pattern while the horns play avant-garde swells and effects. Once the groove comes in you can hear the blues progression and the connection to music from the mid 20th century a little more. I also hear a bit of the groove from Jay Z’s “Takeover” on our chorus groove, interesting how that crept in!

Joe Cohen takes an insane sax solo and you can hear the band getting ultra-inspired with by his pyrotechnics. 

We have more recordings from this night so maybe you will hear some more coming your way soon!

Recorded in 2008 at Coast Recorders

Mixed and Mastered by Chris “Fletch” Fletcher

Since it’s Mardi Gras right now, we figured it would only be appropriate to bring you some of our brass band stylings. From now until Fat Tuesday, we’ll be giving you a bunch of horn-heavy new and unreleased tracks!

“Whoopin Blues” is a traditional New Orleans song that has been played by virtually every brass band and we had a grand ol’ time putting our own spin on it. Joe Cohen, Mike Olmos and Colin Hogan all take some ripping solos on this and you can almost see us all jumping around and being silly through the sounds of this recording. Props to our drummer Pat Korte who really lays down a mean 2nd line groove on this, without the usual 2 drummers of a typical brass band..

I remember when we were in the studio the first night, I got some weird allergic reaction to something and my face started swelling up like crazy! At first, when we were cutting this song, it was just kinda annoying but manageable. Next, it got to the point where it was effecting my vision, no biggie, the show must go on! After that, it got so uncomfortable that I couldn’t really play the tuba with my face so puffy, so I got out a bass and we kept recording that way. The session came to an abrupt end when my throat started swelling a little - I knew it was probably not a big deal but didn’t want to risk it with the whole not being able to breathe thing, so Joe took me straight to the E.R. and hung there with me for hours. Thanks Joe! 

We ended up recording the next day as well and then going back into Coast later that year and doing a bunch of very challenging originals. Many of these tunes will be released this month in the 30 tracks event. 

Happy Mardi Gras y’all!
Adam

Whoopin Blues - Brass Mafia

Engineered by Chris “Fletch” Fletcher
Mixed and Mastered by Chris “Fletch” Fletcher

It’s Mardi Gras and until Fat Tuesday, we will be releasing Brass Band music each day! This tune is another Brass Mafia track that we recorded in our 2nd round of sessions at Coast Recorders in 2007. It was arranged by Joe Cohen and is one of Brass Mafia’s signature mash-ups. Brass Bands often do covers, usually of 70s Funk, or Hip-Hop tunes; Joe’s idea to take an early electronica tune by Kraftwerk and put it in the Brass realm is still brilliant.  The band never does it the same way twice and you can hear on this recording, instead of the horns “soloing” they each come up with different 80s songs to quote and the others have to jump in. This always keeps the guys on their toes, especially when it’s a more obscure 80s tune that they might not be as familiar with! I love Joel’s toy piano playing on this, too classic!

The Model - Brass Mafia

Day 7
song: Ode to Joe
artist: Brass Mafia
composer: Gabe Eaton

recorded 2006 at Coast Recorders in SF
engineered by Sebastian “Seabass” Richard
mixed by Chris “Fletch” Fletcher

Personnel
Mike Olmos - trumpet
Joe Cohen - tenor sax
Danny Grewen - trombone
Colin Hogan - B3 organ
Adam Theis - sousaphone
Pat Korte - drums

Ode to Joe is written by our good friend Gabe Eaton as a dedication to the legendary saxophonist Joe Henderson and brought into the band by our drummer, Pat Korte. Joe Cohen and Mike Olmos have the solos and keep it real tasty. Always a satisfying tune to perform, this version recorded at the now defunct Coast Recorders is perfect for kicking back on a Sunday morning in your fuzzy slippers.

Ode To Joe - Brass Mafia

Founded in 2000, the collective known as Jazz Mafia is one of the most ubiquitous names in innovate music on the West Coast, including such artists as: The Shotgun Wedding Quintet, Realistic Orchestra, Joe Bagale, Jazz Mafia Symphony, Brass Bows & Beats and founder Adam Theis. 
 This talented group of musicians seamlessly combines Latin polyrhythms, boom-bap rhymes, melancholy ballads, swinging jazz and blistering solos, while at the same time adhering to symphonic structural elements. All spun together in the spirit of a Jazz Era big band- but conducted with a maestro's sense of timing, timbre, and mood- the experience is akin to watching the New York Philharmonic back a street corner B-Boy battle in the heart of downtown Oakland.

The "Brass, Bows & Beats" premiere sold out two shows at the Palace Of Fine Arts as well a sold out a six-show run at Yoshi's in San Francisco. The 60 piece incarnation of Jazz Mafia's "Brass, Bows & Beats" that premiered at the Palace of Fine Arts was recorded and released as a live album in June 2010. 2010 has been a break through year for Jazz Mafia, with performances at the Newport Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Playboy Jazz Festival (Hollywood Bowl), and the Monterey Jazz Festival. 

The original 60-piece Palace ensemble can be pared down to a tighter core of 40 to accommodate and emphasize more intimate settings. The piece marks a coming of age for The Jazz Mafia as a new voice in composition. Jazz Mafia Symphony is a monumental achievement displaying an exciting barrage of compositional elements, which the composers ingeniously weave together through a complex blend of skill, talent and courage. An eager and quickly growing global audience awaits their further contributions. A creative force on the Bay Area music scene for more than a decade, the loose-knit band of jazz cats, MCs, arrangers and composers known collectively as The Jazz Mafia, is fast emerging as the most prolific musical organization on the West Coast. Launching some of the Bay Area's most innovative and stylistically expansive ensembles, these musicians contribute their varied talents to a cross-cultural mix of new beats and melodies, blended with instrumental virtuosity. The Jazz Mafia Horns have recorded in the studio with Carlos Santana and backed artists such as Zion-I, KRS One, and Thomas Dolby. Other bands in the JM pantheon include The Shotgun Wedding Quintet, the incredible Realistic Orchestra, Supertaster with Joe Bagale, Brass Mafia, Jazz Mafia Trio, Spaceheater, and The Shotgun Wedding Hip Hop Symphony. With top-tier brass players and an always premium rhythm section, and dealing in jazz, funk, hip hop, soul, R&B and more, The Jazz Mafia form one of the most powerful assemblies of virtuosic performers on the West Coast.
