Youngblood Brass Band

Youngblood Brass Band fuse uncompromising New Orleans brass with hip-hop energy and lyricism. Drawn from Madison, Brooklyn, Minneapolis and Chicago, the ten-piece has toured the world since 2000 and collaborated with the likes of Questlove and Talib Kweli. They are equally at home leading a marching band through their own compositions and headlining a punk festival. On MusicGurus they break down their New Orleans-meets-hip-hop sound - how they compose and arrange for horns, the rhythmic and harmonic vocabulary that ties it together, and how to play a horn line as part of a tight section, including the full parts to their tune 'Brooklyn'.
