The New Orleans Nightcrawlers are not your average second-line street band. Building on the brass bans revolution of the past decade, when funk, bop and pop tunes were added to the traditional repertoire, the 'Crawlers add new harmonic substance and challenging arrangements to the funky New Orleans street sound. Here are originals, transformed standards and new tunes contributed by fellow rising young composers, played by a group of the Crescent City's most accomplished jazz musicians -- brass band music for mind, body and soul. ~ from the CD cover
If you've already been in New Orleans, you'll revive it again listening to these guys! Their musics guide us to a mental trip back to the French Quarter, at the crowded Bourbon Street, to hear "all that jazz", unique to that magic place. Sometimes funky, sometimes caribbean, their jazzy swing is contagious. Highly recommended! ~ Rodrigo Faustini
