About

Award-winning, internationally acclaimed composer-trombonist Jeff Fairbanks leads STREET BEAT. Capturing the attention of the New York Times, the group appeared in Bill Cunningham's Summer Hours series in Summer 2012. Heavily influenced by the multiculturalism of NYC, this instrumental group builds on the brass music of various ethnic traditions -- namely Shout (Gospel), Banda (Mexican), and Klezmer. Fairbanks has taken familiar tunes from each tradition's songbook and arranged them in the band's unique, urban and energetic vibe. Each hand-picked member is also a conservatory-trained Jazz musician who can improvise creatively off the written tunes, adding their individual voice. The flexible 5-piece format of trumpet, sax, trombone, sousaphone, and percussion is completely acoustic and mobile enough to play any type of event, such as strolling, parades, and processionals, as well as parties, concerts, church services, traditional music venues, and other stationary events. For certain situations the band can also perform as a trio. If our existing repertoire does not include a song you want to hear -- as long as we can find it we'll learn it just for you!
