| NOTES: New Orleans brass band music has been the toast of the city's musical culture for well over 100 years. Growing up in the city that made this genre famous, I had the opportunity to be exposed to it and involved with it at an early age. This was a time before the evolution of the more contemporary brass band sound that is a predominant fixture on the local music scene today. The brass bands that I remember most and will always be close to my heart and indelible to me are the Fairview and Hurrican Brass Band. The Fairvies band was established in 1970 by Reverend Andrew Darby, pastor of Fairview Baptist Church , and the legendary Danny Barker who was a member of the church and my neighbor. Now Doc Paulin's band consisted of quite a few youngsters, most of whom were his own sons. But the Fairvies band was the first band comprised of young musicians who were all juveniles from it's conception. A few years later the Hurricane Brass Band came into existence and several members from that band went on to become the world famous Dirty Dozen Brass Band. This recording contains traditional brass band music arranged with a fresh-twist and flavor from the past. It is dedicatd to the memory of those bands of old, specifically the Fairview and Hurricane band and to Danny Barker who rekindled the flame. I hope the music lifts your spirits and puts some pep in your step.... - Leroy Jones - |
