About LowDown Brass Band
Lowdown Brass Band is a ten-piece horn set from Chicago, Illinois. They have been together since 2006. The Lowdown Brass Band, hailing from Chicago, IL, is a nine-piece, horn-driven ensemble with strong roots in the New Orleans 2nd Line Tradition. A fierce sousaphone sets the foundation for trumpets, trombones and saxophones to intertwine in a cacophony of tight lead lines, spontaneous call-and-response and bombastic brass attacks. While taking a page from the jazz and blues giants of the past, the LDB melds modern funk, hip-hop, reggae and pop into a unique new style. Lowdown forges new ground with original compositions that challenge the listener and player alike, breaking down the barrier between performer and audience. Mike August, Drums Raphael Crawford, Trombone Steve Duncan, Trombone Shane Jonas, Trumpet David Levine, Baritone Saxophone Lance Loiselle, Sousaphone Chris Neal, Tenor Saxophone Kevin Tague, Trumpet Andy Zelm, Trombone They have released one self-titled album, in 2008. .
