Join the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble as they celebrate the Cuneiform Records release of their 5th album, “Serpentine”, recorded live at Regattabar!!
The Revolutionary Snake Ensemble is a funk/street beat improvisational brass band performing a unique blend of original and traditional music. Featuring award-winning and acclaimed Boston-area musicians, the group has been attracting a devoted following by making beautiful noise & creative sounds for over three decades. The group has performed in the US and Europe, continuing “to push the brass band tradition forward in an entirely original way, all the while making music that’s a heck of a lot of fun.” – NYC Jazz Record.
Led by saxophonist/composer Ken Field, RSE “mines the vein of New Orleans – with post-bop, and touches of Avant – this band cooks, edgy, raucous, fun, and first rate!” – KBCS Radio, Washington. The Boston Globe says that RSE “brilliantly bridges the booty/brain barrier!” and in a prescient characterization, Step Tempest writes that RSE is “finding joy in the rhythms of the street, in the melodies of the everyday, and in the shouts one creates against the darkness.” KUT, Austin, Tx calls RSE’s music “something quite original in the world of jazz and beyond.”
