Contact Patty Slezak, Reference Librarian, if you need assistance. Thank you.

The Mighty Rumble Brass Band is the latest project from acclaimed saxophonist Craig Yaremko, “an artist who…has a powerful musical personality” (Newark Star-Ledger), and whose latest recording was hailed as “pure magic” (Jazziz).  Inspired by a recent trip to New Orleans, Yaremko, a veteran performer on the New York-area jazz scene for more than two decades, has assembled a multi-generational band, who embrace the joyful exuberance  of the Crescent City, and combined it with the  attitude and soul only found in New York area.   A show with the Mighty Rumble  includes New Orleans classics from the  Rebirth Brass Band, Dr. John and The Meters, plus adaptations from the likes of Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse,  and Bruce Springsteen, as well as funky, accessible, and always crowd-pleasing originals.
