I clearly remember the day in Williamsburg when I first saw Tyondai Braxton making sounds, sitting surrounded by a circle of pedal effects in the middle of a street festival, sun beaming down, the East River a block or so away, one of a few performers set to play. He just sat blaring into a microphone, tweaking his electronics.

4 gentlemen came together just recently to entertain New Yorkers in a free approach towards music. Their music is created in the moment and sounds very fresh. The members are: Shakira’s percussionist Ravish Momin www.ravishmomin.com, Iranian saxophone sensation and leader of THE TEHRAN-DAKAR BROTHERS‘ Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi www.myspace.com/sohrabsaadat, New York’s most in demand session trumpeter Lex Samu www.lexsamu.com. and Stumblebum Brass Band founding member and tuba player Jesse Dulman www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW9HfTX9jlw
