From the same session as “Whoopin’ Blues” where I had to cut the recording short and be taken to the emergency room! Ah , the memories : ) This was the first original tune I wrote for Brass Mafia and what really begun my exploration into more modern ways to use the ensemble. The tune starts out sounding like a jazz-funk tune, definitely some quirky chords and stuff but nothing too out of the norm but around 2 minutes the mood changes drastically and we enter into another world not often explored by brass bands. I think I’d recently seen Skerik’s “Syncopated Taint Septet” which influenced this section a lot with their mixing of B3 Organ/Rock-heavy drums and lots of brass. This was also one of the first time that I used the “slow down” effect, something that has become one of my favorite arranging devices for “warping” the rhythmic feel and creating a cliff-hanging tension. I love that we had Colin Hogan playing B3 organ on this, it fits so well into the brass band sound.
Yes, that’s a rare sighting of Joe Cohen on the BARI sax! Checkout the super chunky doubling of the Sousaphone and Bari in the rock section. ARRRRGH! Sounds like a bulldozer knocking over a McMansion!

If you like it, please share and spread the word! Thanks     - Adam

Brass Mafia Theme - Brass Mafia

This is a wonderful song composed by Arsenio Rodríguez, known as the father fo Cuban son, and made really famous by Ibrahim Ferrer. Ibrahim Ferrer was the golden voice of the Buena Vista Social Club. This version is performed by the band "Aguaje Y Su Buena Vista", the only true successor of the world renowned Buena Vista Social Club. Enjoy!
