City of Trees Brass Band and Jimmy Toor

Jimmy Toor is an international soul musician featuring electronic sound fx and percussion. JT combines multi-cultural rhythms and instrumental hip-hop for a live experience. His group features award-winning musicians from the SF Bay Area.

City of Trees Brass Band is influenced by purveyors of the New Orleans second-line style of Jazz. City of Trees also cites less traditional acts like the Youngblood Brass Band and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble as sources of inspiration- groups from the Midwest that merge brassy jazz with hip-hop, gypsy rock, and even punk. The result is an expectedly funky yet unexpectedly contemporary party with as many as 12 musicians grooving on trumpet, saxophone, trombone, sousaphone, and percussion instruments.
