Facts:
An extraordinary combination of a brass quintet, a mixed 52-piece choir, African percussion, a singer of spirituals, a bebop drummer and a Hammond organist, plus the individualistic and oblique trumpet interjections of Lester Bowie, produces some truly memorable, magical and immensely moving music. The Brazz Brothers is a stellar ensemble, highly esteemed in ist native Norway and rapidly gaining international recognition and respect. In a very real sense, this collaboration is a joyous recapitulation of the historic process of synthesis which began more than a century ago with the merger of African, Caribbean and European elements to provide a rich, musical heritage whose strains include spirituals, gospel songs, minstrel songs, ragtime, work songs, blues and jazz.
