  • Band Is New York City's Ultimate New Orleans Party Band
    Jambalaya Brass Band is New York City's ultimate New Orleans party band. They are available for performances with as few as 5 pieces or as many as 9 pieces. Since 1998 they've been kickin' it hard with a flavor straight from the streets of New Orleans, paying their respects to the unique musical traditions of New Orleans incorporating a special blend of R & B, Funk, Gospel, Traditional Jazz, Zydeco, Latin, Hip Hop and Be-Bop. They will take you on a historical journey through the New Orleans brass band tradition. It is a joyous romp starting from the early beginnings with Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong and ending up with their own modern sounds influenced by the Rebirth, Dirty Dozen and New Birth brass bands. In addition to recording for the Warner Bros. film, Where The Wild Things Are, two commercials for Southern Comfort, Treme Life a documentary by James Demaria, and the Colours TV documentary film about Leah Daughtry (CEO of the National Democratic Convention 2008), they have played The 2nd Line Across the Brooklyn Bridge, A Jazz Funeral for Coney Island, Jazz Funeral for Allan Toussaint in NYC, Riverhead Mardi Gras Festival, Caesar's Atlantic City, The Hall @ MP, DBA New Orleans, Louisiana Music Factory, Harlem's Floridita, Radegast Hall and Biergarten, Treme Islip, WSME-FM Backyard BBQ, B.B.

  • Victor Rice - in America
    MEGA004 http://musicvid/int/catalog/auto_salessheet/salessheet_create.php?auto=1... Victor Rice - In America Ska music made slow, nice and smooth, in a rainy day dub style. DESCRIPTION A long time friend of Buck and the Toasters (he also performs on the Live In Brasil release) this release will mark the beginning of things to come for Megalith and the ska scene overall. Victor Rice has a long history of work in the ska scene and outside the genre. He has played in band such as the Scofflaws, Mephiskapheles, New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble and the Toasters, just to name a few. He is also a producer and mixer of many ska bands including works with the one and only Dr. Ring Ding out of Germany as well as a handful of bands from Brasil!. If you haven't been turned on to the deep down ska dub sounds of VR, you really are missing a whole world of grade A music. Everything Victor puts his hands on is golden, this album is no exception. Not to mention this album features many of today's top notch ska musicians like Brian (Buford) O'Sullivan, Paul Gebhardt, David Hahn and Eddie Ocampo, to name a few. If you want something to do on a Sunday afternoon, turn this record on and soak in the low decibel that is Victor Rice...

  • 10/10 Art F City
    IMG MGMT: New Century Modern Surface Magazine by JOSH KLINE on OCTOBER 21, 2010 [Editor’s note: IMG MGMT is an annual image-based artist essay series. Today’s invited writer, Josh Kline, is a New York-based artist. Working primarily in Photoshop, installation, and video, Kline’s work is concerned with the diffusion and confusion of brands and mass-media communication strategies. His work has been exhibited in New York at spaces including 179 Canal Street, Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, X Initiative, Taxter & Spengemann, and Guild and Greyshkul, among others; at Galerie Christine Mayer, Munich; and various project spaces in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. Kline is a founding member of the art collective Circular File. In fall 2009, he produced a three episode cable access television show with the collective as a commission for the PERFORMA09 biennial. Originally from Philadelphia, Kline graduated with a degree in film and media art from Temple University in 2002. You can find more of Josh’s work on Youtube and Vimeo.] If you see something, say something. Orange alert. Bondi Blue alert. A big thank you to the Internet from CU & SC, GW & MA, Oral B, Design Within Reach, Steve Jobs, Sarah Palin, and AMC. “Thank you for providing us with easy access to limitless amounts of inspirational information, especially information from the 20th Century.” The Internet’s first decade as a mass medium was a time for digestion and regurgitation. Information filled the expanding network and overflowed back into the minds of its users. In the wake of this relentless and overwhelming flood of influence, the past has become a conveniently located mental refugee camp for everyone having trouble coming to terms with the 21st Century and The Economist magazine’s predictions of America’s lackluster place in it.
