Hypnotic Brass Ensemble

Chicago’s heavyweight hip-hop brass kings take to the stage with their signature high-voltage live show.

An eight-piece of horn-playing brothers, the group are sons of legendary jazz trumpeter Kelan Phil Cohran (Sun Ra Arkestra), carrying forward a rich musical lineage into a fiercely contemporary sound.

With three acclaimed albums on UK label Honest Jon’s Records and collaborations spanning Prince, Mos Def and Gorillaz, they’ve built a formidable reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts around.

Blending New Orleans big-band energy with avant-garde flair, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble deliver an explosive fusion of rap, funk, jazz and hip-hop.
