ReBirth is the hottest young brass band in New Orleans today. This live album captures them at work during Mardi Gras, 1990, at The Glass House, the tiny, ultrafunky midcity bar that's the unofficial capitol of the whole new brass band movement. Trumpeter Kermit Ruffins and the rhythm team of brothers Philip and Keith Frazier on tuba and bass drum are at the core of a band that's sometimes as big as ten pieces, with plenty of guest percussionists joining them from the street.
