Here’s a sneak peek of the interview:

What are some of y’all’s favorite brass bands?
The classics like Rebirth, Soul Rebels, but I really like Youngblood Brass Band. They have a lot more complex arangements. Jimmy definitely got me into Youngblood. You know, when you have so many voices you can do a lot of really cool stuff, and Brass already has its own really interesting tambors. It’s fun, it’s funky, but it’s acoustic and powerful and yet it can be really delicate. I don’t know, its just got a lot of different shades to it.
