Robin McKelle + Bad Ass Brass

Sassy NYC-based singer McKelle here performs songs from her fine recent album 'Mess Around' (Sony/Doxy Records) with an energetic blend of Ray Charles-styled soul and sultry Nina Simone-inflected jazz. Also appearing are quaking, tuba-driven, all-brass eight-piece (plus drums), specialising in New Orleans Mardi Gras styled funk and jazz, they whip up a danceable soul stew.
