Old Saw Music is proud to present an album of OSM founder Mark Braud’s New Orleans brass band compositions, performed by his Basin St. Brass Band. 

Braud has been a part of the vibrant New Orleans brass band scene since his days with the Treme Brass Band and the Olympia Brass Band in the 1990s. He co-composed ”You Know You Know” for the GRAMMY® Award-winning album Rebirth Brass Band: Rebirth of New Orleans, and he is now here with a fresh album of authentic, down-home music. 

These songs range from contemporary funk-brass band songs (think rowdy New Orleans party music) to old school hymn-style brass band music (think: jazz funerals and pre-1970s kickback scenes).

Along with a few guests, the core band playing these songs is: Mark Braud (trumpet, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Harry Connick, Jr.),Kevin Louis (trumpet, Preservation Brass, Duke Ellington Orchestra), GRAMMY® Award-winning Kerry “Fatman” Hunter (snare drum, percussion, The New Orleans Nightcrawlers, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Olympia Brass Band), Ronell Johnson (tuba, trombone, Preservation Hall Jazz Band), Richard Anderson(trombone, Kinfolk Brass Band, Preservation Brass),Gerald French(bass drum, percussion, The Dixie Cups, The Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, Charmaine Neville) and Roderick Paulin (tenor saxophone, clarinet, Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra, Rebirth Brass Band).

Old Saw Music is proud to present Mark Braud’s Living the Tradition, a New Orleans album full of original traditional jazz, New Orleans R&B, and a few other gems in the idiom.

This album has a few vocal songs (Trouble, I Should’ve Known, and Mary Jane) along with several instrumentals to bring New Orleans to you in whatever fashion you fancy.

These songs are performed by an all-star cast of New Orleans musicians: Mark Braud (trumpet and vocals, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Harry Connick, Jr.), Lucien Barbarin (trombone, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Harry Connick, Jr.), Tim Laughlin (clarinet, Pete Fountain, Al Hirt), Roderick Paulin (tenor saxophone, clarinet, Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra, Rebirth Brass Band), Ronell Johnson (tuba, trombone, Preservation Hall Jazz Band), Herlin Riley (drums, Wynton Marsalis, Ahmad Jamal), Gerald French (vocals, The Dixie Cups, The Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, Charmaine Neville), Mark Brooks (bass, the Neville Brothers, Dr. John), Meghan Swartz (piano, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Leroy Jones, Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra).
