The 2023-24 season marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of Rhythm & Brass. For 23 years, the group toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Thailand, and the Middle East. And now, after a seven-year hiatus, they are celebrating their musical and creative camaraderie by coming together to revisit old classics while simultaneously exploring new musical directions.
"Beyond Category" was a term the great Duke Ellington used as the highest form of praise for those artists who transcended normal boundaries. Since their inaugural season in 1993, Rhythm & Brass has lived up to the ideal of a musical presentation that is not bound by time, geography or culture. With the unique ability to incorporate influences as divergent as Josquin Des Prez, Pink Floyd, John Coltrane, Florence Price, Johann Sebastian Bach, Maria Schneider and, of course, Duke Ellington, Rhythm & Brass searches for the commonality in these influences and fearlessly weave them all into a single concert experience.
