26th April 2014 at the Fair Grounds Race Course (Economy Hall Tent), New Orleans, USA [with the Second Line Jammers Social Aid & Pleasure Club].

New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, www.nojazzfest.com/.

Country: United States - New Orleans. Style: New Orleans style Brass Band.

Lineup: Benny Jones Sr (bass d), Kenny Terry (trumpet/v), Gregg Stafford (trumpet/v), Michael White (clarinet), Roger Lewis (baritone sax), John Gilbert (tenor sax), Reginald Stewart (trombone), Terrance Taplin (trombone), Julius McKee (sousaphone), Vernon Severin (snare d), Mari Watanabe (p), Seva Venet (banjo), and tambourine player (possibly Harold "Homeboy" Wilson).

The Treme Brass Band was always consisted of a core of regulars, with other musicians drawn in for particular gigs. Since I last saw them 3 years ago (see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157626842194353/), there have been some changes. With the loss of Lionel Batiste, Benny Jones now mainly plays bass drum (as he did before the Treme with the Dirty Dozen). The current second drummer is usually Joe Lastie Jr of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (and of another of those New Orleans musical families - grandfather “Deacon” Frank, uncles Melvin, David and Walter “Popee”, great uncle Jesse Hill, aunt Betty Ann Williams and cousin Herlin Riley). Eddie King also wasn’t around (I don’t know why), and Terrance Taplin is currently filling the berth. John Gilbert (like Reginald Stewart) is a former member of Rebirth who is now appearing with the Treme.

As usual the Jazzfest set was performed by an expanded version of the band. It included (as in past years) Roger Lewis, and (this time) Michael White and Gregg Stafford. I’ve taken photos of most of the band members in other contests. To view, click on the tag of the musician’s name.
