Influences
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, ReBirth Brass Band, the Meters, Lee Dorsey, Dr. John, Professor Longhair, Maceo Parker, the J.B.'s, James Brown, Stanton Moore, Parliament Funkadelic, Average White Band, Tower of Power, and everything else that's funky...
Originally launched in 1995, the sousaphone-driven New Basics Brass Band layers jazz, R&B, New Orleans funk, and groove sounds to produce party music for the masses.
Whether at their frequent regional club appearances or festival dates such as South By Southwest and Montreux Music Festival Atlanta, crowds stay on their feet and beg for more.
Other notable performances include Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Jazz & Ribs Festival, Columbus Arts Festival, Lancaster Festival, and Rhythm On The River. NBBB has shared the stage with several national acts including Dirty Dozen Brass Band, CJ Chenier, NRBQ, Los Lobos, Rebirth Brass Band, Drums & Tuba and Galactic.
Experience NBBB for yourself. Get dirty. See why they're hard to ignore and it's hard to stand still.

So...gents, it has been way too long! I have missed your grooves terribly and look forward to Comfest and the PST. Hope all is well in your world and can't wait to see you! :-)
I am the attorney representing, well, let's say a Mr. Aaron B. No wait, let's say A. Bishara. Anyway, Mr. A.B. feels aggrieved because the Myspace picture of your fine organization has not been updated in many months to reflect the addition of said Mr. B.
This, we contend, is causing him emotional distress and must be dealt with in an expedient fashion, and reparations should be made, including but not limited to a more recent photo, a large Starbucks mochalattefrappuchio, and of course all legal fees necessary for my representation.

Good times as always and I hope to see and hear you boys again soon. :-) So...are you at Gallos or Dick's for Fat Tuesday? Just want to know where the place to be is!
Hey guys thanks for joining the Cook Shack Crew! Hope you guys can stop in sometime! One of our cooks knows a couple of you guys...maybe this summer we can hook up and do Jazz and Ribs, Cook Shack and New basics style!!
You guys sounded fantastic last night at SNT, and it was an honor to sit in for a few tunes. Thanks to Colin for the use of his rig--you have a standing invitation to sit in with Sharp Circle any time you want. That goes for all of you in fact.
