Hypnotic Brass Ensemble live at Lefto#3 (pics)

Lefto#3 at Vooruit earlier this weekend definitely was a sure shot. Hudson Mohawke smashed the place with his unique take on beat music. And then there’s the absolute highlight: Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. HBE is an instrumental group comprised of 8 horn players and a drummer, all but one of whom are sons of jazz musician Kelan Phil Cohran (Sun Ra Arkestra). Their energy was immense and their sound strong. I hope some of these pics reflect that.

Hypnotic Brass will release a Heritage ep later this month. Make sure you’re on the look out for that and support independent musicians. Oh, and a thumbs up for dj’s Lefto & Azer for great sets in between & after. Great night!
