NYC-based Street Beat Brass brings a distinctly American New Orleans flavor to the many brass-based styles it embraces - Jazz, NoLA, Funk, Gospel, Caribbean, Polka, Klezmer and even Pop and TV/Film themes. Leader and New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow Jeff Fairbanks has penned original compositions for the group, which due to its mobile brass and drums makeup is as comfortable performing while winding through crowded streets as it is on stage.
