SACRED FUNK >
Kirk Joseph's Backyard Groove
Kirk Joseph’s status as one of the greatest
and most influential innovators in contemporary
New Orleans music is unchallenged. As the a
founding member of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band,
his funky, sophisticated sousaphone playing
defined the role of the bass instrument in modern
New Orleans brass band music, and his compositions
are standards in the genre. His band lays down
percolating electric New Orleans funk, and his
horn section adds soulful grace and dimension
to the Sacred Funk sound.
