🎷 Music Review

“Brass on Basin Street” captures the raw heartbeat of early New Orleans jazz. The cornet leads with a dirty, vocal-like growl, while clarinet lines dance freely above the ensemble, creating that unmistakable collective improvisation style. The trombone slides anchor the low end with humor and swagger, supported by a bouncing tuba and banjo rhythm. The track feels alive—imperfect in the best way—evoking humid nights, street parades, and the birth of jazz itself. It’s not nostalgia; it’s a living tradition brought back to life.
