So I hear that David Simon, producer of HBO's The Wire (and writer of Homicide) had Rebirth and Kermit Ruffins come up to Baltimore and perform at his son's Bar Mitzvah. Simon's doing a New Orleans show as well.

In a lot of ways, New Orleans is Baltimore but it can carry a tune. I thought Katrina was literally America having to pause for a moment and contemplate the other America that somehow, tragically, Americans forgot. It's like America looking across the chasm saying, "Oh, are you still here? Oh, and you're wet. And you're angry."

Has anybody ever heard that brass band from Mobile called something like the "Bay State Brass Band?" Are they any good? For that matter, has anybody been to Mardi Gras in Mobile?

Nope.
― curmudgeon, Saturday, 26 May 2007 05:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Google tells me it's the Bay City Brass Band, the Bay state one is from Massachusetts. There's a little on Bay City here (with a list of top Mardi Gras songs): http://www.mardigrasdigest.com/Sec_music/music_page.html
I heard good things about the below:
ELDER BABB & THE MADISON BUMBLE BEES OF WINNSBORO (GOSPEL) A choir of 12 trombones, led by trombonist Elder Babb, plus a tuba, bari, drums and cymbals, raise a joyful noise in praise from this exciting ensemble of the United House of Praise for All People from South Carolina.
