Topic: Fairview Baptist Church Marching Band


  
  [Dixielandjazz] N.O. Marching/Brass Bands, etc.
The early development of marching band and jazz drumming came to a head in New Orleans for reasons well documented by historians--e.g., drum sessions in Congo Square, a huge local marching band tradition (military, civic, social clubs, etc.), many dances, picnics, and other venues where the music could evolve, and so on.
As you pointed out, the marching bands and earliest jazz styles were still around and had to be an influence, but they weren't embraced by many young fl players as a music of choice.
Kids born around that time did get a sympathetic exposure to marching bands without the image of "old-timey" or "Uncle Tom" music that was around in our generation, and the music became an authentic part of their repertoire.

One of the coolest uses of space by the modern brass bands is the use of the overpass.
When the brass bands are jamming full on, they get loud, but when a brass band passes under a stretch of highway the effective enclosure acts as an amplifier.

Anthony "Tuba Fats" Lacen, a well-respected member of the brass band community in New Orleans, and the genial, unspoken leader of the revolving cast of musicians that perform in Jackson Square, passed away at his home on January 11.
