Rebirth Brass Band - Ultimate

The Rebirth Brass Band is in my opinion the best contemporary New Orleans vintage marching style band. The group formed in the early '80s while they were still in high school. They include multiple trombone, trumpet, tuba and percussion instuments that create booming uptempo tunes, spirituals, rags, marching numbers, and originals. We used to go see Rebirth at the Maple Leaf bar in New Orleans and it was a crazy scene. Now-a-days, I hear they are playing at Rock 'n' Bowl, which would be a great place to see them too. It is very hard to recreate the live Rebirth experience on a recording, but at least this compilation has all their best songs and if you turn it up really loud, in a small sweaty room, you can start to get the picture.
