Semitic Brass: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Semitic Brass

Semitic Brass is a New York–based ensemble that works at the seam between rock and pop forms and the phrasing and harmonic language of jazz. Their performances foreground brass tone and ensemble balance, treating amplification and groove as compositional tools rather than effects. In NYC they appear at The Stone at The New School, a room known for close listening and rigorous programming. The group’s sets favor structure over spectacle, with improvisation used to sharpen the written material.
