Celebrating 50 years since its founding, the Grammy-winning Dirty Dozen Brass Band has infused the unmistakable spirit of New Orleans brass with bebop jazz, funk, and R&B/soul. This distinctive sound, described by the band as a “musical gumbo,” has made the Dirty Dozen synonymous with genre-bending musical adventures and high-octane performances, spreading the power, joy, and soul of New Orleans brass to audiences around the world. 

“The Dirty Dozen Brass Band is arguably the most influential ensemble to emerge in New Orleans over the last 25 years. Its sway on the brass band scene has been staggering, spawning bands like the ReBirth, New Birth, Hot 8, Li’l Rascals, Soul Rebels and just about every other young brass ensemble presently performing.”—Offbeat Magazine
