Artist:Youngblood Brass Band
Song:Ain't Nobody
Album:Pax Volumi
The Youngblood Brass Band are a New Orleans style brass band mixed with jazz and soul. Like a lot of similar bands, they are worth seeing live. They usually record for their own label. They are from Oregon, WI which is a suburb of Madison. Drummer David Henzie-Skogen and sousaphonist Nat McIntosh went to high school together. When the band first formed in 1995, they were called One Lard Biskit Brass Band. After one album the name was changed to Youngblood Brass Band. They released a couple of albums on their own label. The 2000 album Unlearn featured guest appearances by Taleb Kweli and Mike Ladd. So that generated interest in the hip hop community. Henzie-Skogen started his own Layered Music label in 2005. Since then most Youngblood Brass Band albums are on that label. The exception is the 2013 album Pax Volumi which was on the British label TruThoughts. Though Henzie-Skogen and McIntosh write most of the band's songs, the lead single from Pax Volumi was a cover of the Chaka Khan classic Ain't Nobody. This album marked McIntosh's return after his 2004 departure. Pax Volumi is available as a digital download. Though they have released a couple of EPs, this is their latest album. Obviously they aren't on tour right now. But the Youngblood Brass Band will return when the pandemic ends. They are worth checking out. Here's the video for Ain't Nobody by Youngblood Brass Band.
