So on the way from work home today I ran into the Hypnotic Brass Orchestra in the subway (just like how I found out about them!). I love this group. Seriously funky jazz, hypnotic like their name, and so full of energy it blows through like a tornado. I saw them this summer at the eastvillageradio.com fest at South Street Seaport, and we just got tickets to see them again on 12/5 at the Jazz Standard (mmm... jazz and barbecue). Definitely check them out.
