The San Francisco Jazz Mafia has been taking over the Bay Area since it's inception 5 years ago. Bands like Realistic Orchestra, the Shotgun Wedding Quintet and many more have been putting San Francisco back on the map as one of the most important music scenes in the country. The newest addition to the collective is the Brass Mafia. Based on the tried-and-true New Orleans brass ensemble, the Brass Mafia includes Trombone, Trumpet, Saxes, drums and most importantly TUBA! Although the instrumentation of this Brass Band is based on a 100-year-old tradition, the sound is based on music from many different decades and continents. The Brass Mafia puts a strong emphasis on heavy backbeats, creative improvisation and a unique mix of songs and arrangements.
