Dirty Rice

We are incredibly excited to share our latest project of traditional New Orleans brass band music performed by living legends and New Orleans culture bearers in a spectacular all-star 11-piece brass band ensemble.

This project is near and dear to our hearts, as it’s born of the very musical traditions that Old Saw Music co-founder Mark Braud was raised on. With so many multigenerational musicians in this band, this album is like a New Orleans musical family tree - the uncles and fathers and grandfathers of these incredible musicians also played together in generations past, and the traditions are clearly still alive and well!

This all-star cast features:

GRAMMY® Award-nominated Mark Braud (trumpet, Harry Connick, Jr., Preservation Hall Jazz Band), GRAMMY® Award-nominated Wendell Brunious (trumpet, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Lionel Hampton), Gregg Stafford (trumpet, bass drum, Young Tuxedo Brass Band, Original Liberty Jazz Band), GRAMMY® Award-nominated Kevin Louis (trumpet, Palm Court Jazz Band, Duke Ellington Orchestra), GRAMMY® Award-nominated Roderick Paulin (tenor saxophone, Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra, Rebirth Brass Band), GRAMMY® Award-nominated Bruce Brackman (clarinet, Palmetto Bug Stompers, Storyville Stompers), Freddie Lonzo (trombone, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra), GRAMMY® Award-winning Craig Klein (trombone, New Orleans Nightcrawlers, Storyville Stompers), GRAMMY® Award-winning Kirk Joseph (sousaphone, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Dr. John), GRAMMY® Award-winning Cayetano “Tanio” Hingle (bass drum, New Orleans Nightcrawlers, New Birth Brass Band), and GRAMMY® Award-winning Gerald French (snare drum, Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, The Dixie Cups)
