Ya
Yesterday I was at a hip-hop event.. there were several artists performing (including Pharoahe Monch and Erick Sermon).. one of the groups that performed were Youngblood Brass Band.. I had never heard of them before, but I have to say that they were FUCKING GREAT!
They alternated their songs so that every other song had an MC, and every other was brass-jazz... They had this really cool tuba-player who, in my opinion was the guy who did most for the show (imagine being slightly drunk, standing up-front on a hip-hop event where seven brass-players + an MC with a snaredrum and a cymbal + a guy with a HUGE ASS bassdrum, and a HUGE guy with a HUGE FUCKING tuba bouncing around on the stage, making show! AND.. when the MC was MCing, the tuba guy took over the drum, and it takes something to be able to keep the beat while playing a tuba, TRUST ME!)
The only bad thing about them is that the album (out now, I think) COULD be a little.. unvaried, but that's the problem with all "gimmick" groups.. I'll buy the album, though, 'cause that shit ROCKED!

they are americans, as a matter of fact they play many benefits for my old high school's music program...how weird to think of those guys playing across the world? the tuba player is insanely good...
not really my kinda thing though.

I like their cover of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" a lot.
