Revolutionary Snake Ensemble at Truro Summer Concert Series

“Ken Field’s New Orleans’inspired jazz/funk brass band…brilliantly bridges the booty/brain barrier.”— Boston Globe, 2019

“Revolutionary Snake Ensemble has been putting its unique and somewhat twisted twist on the New Orleans brass band tradition for more than 25 years…hard-partying avant-funk, with boisterous soloing…I Want That Sound! is a strong example of how Ken Field and the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble continue to push the brass band tradition forward in an entirely original way, all the while making music that’s a heck of a lot of fun.”— NYC Jazz Record

“People tend to think of second line bands – brass bands steeped in New Orleans traditions – as instant party starters. It’s a great compliment, maybe the best compliment ever, but it limits the sonic and emotional range of these bands. Revolutionary Snake Ensemble can absolutely get a party started. But on the local horn collective’s fourth album, “I Want That Sound!,” the players also explore the wild outerlands of jazz.”— Boston Herald

“New Orleans brass band meets Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman – fiery yet booty-shaking music – it’s a stone cold killer diller! … Most bands can’t get the New Orleans stuff right, but the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble is one of the few who does and then takes it in fascinating directions.”— OffBeat (New Orleans)
