We need music by the Skokiaan Brass Band
I've been waiting for this EP to drop in digital format for ages and finally found it last week. This is another French Brass Band doing New Orleans, but unlike the French Nola Connection I reviewed last week, which was mostly derivative, Skokiaan has some really good and unique writing. It stays perfectly in genre, this is music designed to make you dance, but the arrangements are clever and they don't immediately sound like any one of the numerous NOLA Brass Bands I've heard. Definitely worth a listen, and makes me want even more to see them live.
