parade bands, 'soloing' in different keys simulanteously for *one* thing, were an influence on free jazz (Ornette Coleman had played in proto-R&B bands in his native Texas, and toured in a medicine show band, according to A.B. And I always suspected that those early N.O. As far as non-high school, don't forget Mississippi's late (and maybe last of a kind) Othar Turner.

Reminds me that Bessemer is the disembarkation point of Sun Ra (and my father).

That sound, across the stadium (and airwaves), not just horns but the drums, it moves me man.

Alabama's Public TV used to broadcast an annual marching band contest, live from Bessemer High School's football field. Yas yas, that's what I like about the South. They were really young and firey when I saw 'em.) Were those good? (Regis Brass Band is one from New Orleans I've heard live, but never knew of any records. Also Lester Bowie Brass Fantasy's AVANT POP and others even getting to recastings of hiphop and that big parade drum for 'Beautiful People, Beau'ful PeePUL' on ODYSSEY OF FUNK AND POPULAR MUSIC, his last album (which I reviewed for put your Search subject in quotes if you go there)I've always wondered about Mike Westbrook's settings of Blake, and his Drinking Gasoline review, with singer Kate Westbrook. Turns out this music was 'inspired by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.' Involving old pros like Chuck Findley, Ernie Watts, Pete Christlieb, and Fred Wesley, and, even though it's got some of that one-size-fits-all ECM train station echo, here it does fit (boomin' in the gloom, and after all it's about life going on during wartime). TKP being a segment of Robert Wilson's intercontinental stage/satellite TV cycle, 'the CIVIL warS' (broadcast live in sequence, but the Reagan Admin pulled plug on our part). Something I'd heard and thought it was the Dirty Dozen 'til I got it: David Byrne's MUSIC FOR THE KNEE PLAYS.

Now collect high school marching band records, which is among what ('lab bands, stage bands' also) gets LANGLEY SCHOOLS equiv, except for the acclaim, on SCHOOLHOUSE FUNK, compiled by Motorcycle John (AKA DJ SHADOW). Much liked (first albums of) Electric Flag, Blood Sweat & Tears (pre Clayton Thomas), and Chicago. Buckinghams' 'Mercy Mercy' led me back to Adderley & Zawinul's original, yclept 'Mercy Mercy Mercy', and from there to other Blue Note (the cliche of jazz and pop parting ways WWII never otm). Have long regretted that, but garage soul/preppy-frat rock was good.'Soulfinger' and 'Grazin' In The Grass' my faves. I played some trumpet in school but disdained the marching band (late summer, they're getting ready for football season, marching around in the mud in red wool uniforms, ughh). A float got stuck on a tree, and Rebirth were still energetic enough to challenge a high school band to a battle while the parade stood still. Turns out Rebirth had literally performed all night and went straight to the parade without rest.

My favorite Rebirth story was seeing the guys perform in the bywater one night when members of the Afghan Whigs were in the audience, then seeing the band again in the Zulu parade the next morning. I find Dirty Dozen boring on CD and in concert, sorry. Ex-Rebirth member Kermit Ruffins has his own band which is pretty great, too. I lived in New Orleans for a year and my favorite Rebirth album is still Take It To the Street. I'm all for this kind of thing, but these groups are to Rebirth what Antibalas is to Fela. The parallel in Minneapolis (where I live) is the Jack Brass Band. Youngblood and Mama Digdown's even go down to Mardi Gras and perform, though I don't know how seriously they're taken. You can't find a Southern accent in Madison, but you got all these brass bands and New Orleans restaurants popping up. I'm from Madison, Wisconsin, and I know those bands.
