It was formed by Bennie Pete, Jerome Jones, and Harry Cook in 1995,〔(Brass Band Blowout Weekend: April 11, 2008 ) from the Tipitina's website〕 the merging of two earlier bands, the Looney Tunes Brass Band and the High Steppers Brass Band.〔(Biography ) from the website of the Lowell Folk Festival〕 Since June 2007 the band has been signed to the UK's Tru Thoughts label, that label's first U.S. act. ==Music== The Hot 8 Brass Band plays in second line parades hosted Sunday afternoons by Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs;〔 in the New Orleans metropolitan area they also play at traditional jazz funerals〔(Drummer's Funeral Underlines New Orleans Violence ), ''All Things Considered'', 6 January 2007.

Because of this appearance, according to National Public Radio, "A new legion of fans caught onto the band's mix of traditional marching music, hip hop, and R&B."〔 In 2009, the band added its New Orleans style to an "Iko Iko" cover song of the Swiss band Schtärneföifi, who re-recorded their Swiss German version from 1995's ''Heicho - Ohni Znacht is Bed'' together with The Dixie Cups in New Orleans. The song was released on the new album, ''Wältberüemt''.〔(Swiss television magazine Schtärneföifi in New Orleans with the Dixie Cups and The Hot 8 Brass Band )〕〔(Audio sample of "Heicho" where the Hot 8 Brass Band add its unique New Orleans style )〕 〔In 2014 the band's cover of "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye was featured in the movie "Chef" and appeared on the soundtrack.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hot 8 Brass Band」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
