Big Sam's Funky
Nation :
Presiding over his
Funky Nation is Big Sam, formerly the
trombonist for the Dirty Dozen
Brass Band, who blows
the funk out of his trombone and refuses to let
the
audience sit still. Between solos and trombone riffs,
Big Sam
second-lines (a uniquely New Orleans style of
street-dance) and gets the
crowd going both in movement
and in replies to his call-and-response
MC-style.
A talented group of jazz-trained musicians makes up the
Funky
Nation, bringing with them the improv-style associated
with jazz and the
horn-heavy front section that's the hallmark
of big band funk. Theirs,
and Big Sam's, exuberant dancing
and playing, afford them a rare
opportunity to let loose.
Big Sam's Funky Nation has undeniable
personality,
as well as masterful chops.
