The artist
Otone Brass Band have been playing New Orleans-style brass out of Denver for more than twenty years, five albums, hundreds of shows, and a second-line feel that does not much care what room it is in. They write their own material rather than living off the standards.
They have played Red Rocks, Five Points Jazz, City Park Jazz and the Democratic National Convention, shared stages with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Galactic, Ozomatli and the Flobots, and turned up on NPR's Radiolab. They are also fully mobile, parades, second lines, street format, which is a different discipline from playing a stage, and it shows in how little the room seems to matter to them.
