Kelan Philip Cohran & The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - Roust About x Stateville
Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at 1:35PM
Moving away from their usual Hip-Hop/Funk sound, here are my two favourite tracks from The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble's new collaborative album with Kelan Philip Cohran. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the HBE, they are a Chicago-based band featuring a drummer and eight brothers on assorted horns (trumpets, trombones, bari horn and sousaphone). Cohran is their octogenarian father, and is an important figure in music history, having played trumpet for Sun Ra, mentored Earth Wind & Fire and travelled the world in search of musical and spiritual enlightenment. Together they have created something a bit different to what most HBE fans will be used to, but it's still hypnotic and uniquely refreshing. Support.
