4.0 out of 5 stars Straight ahead jazz meets brass and creates Music!, May 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Buck Jump (Audio CD)

After a disspointing release I was skeptical about picking up Buck Jump. I heard cuts from this release during Jazz Fest and decided it would be well worth it. I especially enjoyed the "Pet De Kat" song because I met this wild group during my Jazz Fest visit this year. I was very happy to see the energy back in The Dozen! Another great effort by the leading brass band of New Orleans setting yet another new brass standard!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great brass funk, August 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Buck Jump (Audio CD)

This is the first I've heard of the Dirty Dozen (I'll go back for some of the old DDBB discs), and I love it. Old-school N'awlins brass funk, fattened up nicely with John Medeski's organ sound. The smoothness of the tuba, the wonderfully nasty T-bone solos, good arrangements and some great hooks that sound like tunes you've known forever combine to make this one really enjoyable disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Album HITS!, January 23, 2002

I know this band has done other albums before this. No doubt John Medeski on the organ and in the production booth helped these fellas out. This album will get your head noddin and is good for a road trip. I've seen them live in Burlington at Higher Ground and they were fabulous. I would recommend this to anybody who likes to groove. Also, the live album they did with Widespread Panic is no slouch.
