About This Event
Brass Queens, a New York brass band that operates between jazz and street-band tradition, shares a bill with Wallace Roney Jr. at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts. The Brass Queens bring groove-oriented arranging and tight-unison horn lines shaped in downtown contexts like Nublu, while Roney—heard in settings such as Dizzy’s Club—favors precision and ensemble balance over solo display.
