In the beginning of the year 2007 Luc Gooren had the idea to form a brass band. After listening to bands like the Youngblood Brass Band, Dirtydozen Brass Band and Hot 8 Brass Band he had become so enthusiastic about their musical style he wanted to play it himself. After asking a number of other musicians to join the band, the basis was formed.
Now, The Embrassibles is a group of snugly musicians with a fancy for ‘Heavy Brass’. Consisting of two trumpets, two trombones, two alto and one tenor saxophone, a sousaphone, drums, percussion and a rapper, we mix jazz, hip-hop, funk and soul in an overwhelming way to a crackle total. Sometimes sensitive, sometimes using sledgehammers. It sure is difficult to resist!
The Embrassibles, Embrace the Brass!
