Hypnotic Brass Ensemble in Burghausen

Straight from Chicago, the unparalleled groove of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble sets Burghausen alight! With more than a dozen albums to their credit since their debut, Flipside, in 2004, they have been busy collaborating with a host of artists—including Prince, Mos Def, Mick Jones (The Clash), and Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz)—and touring the world's biggest stages, playing at Coachella, WOMAD AU, the Sydney Opera House, and Carnegie Hall...

Of the group's nine musicians, eight are the sons of renowned jazz trumpeter Phil Cohran. Immersed in jazz, their music—a delightful blend of 60s/70s-inspired jazz and old-school 80s/90s hip-hop—is as much the expression of a powerful family heritage as it is of their own generational identity. This is music for today, tinged with a touch of nostalgia, whose unbridled enthusiasm is sure to wake up the crowds!
