about

“Whoopin Blues” is a traditional New Orleans song that has been played by virtually every brass band and we had a grand ol’ time putting our own spin on it. Joe Cohen, Mike Olmos and Colin Hogan all take some ripping solos on this and you can almost see us all jumping around and being silly through the sounds of this recording. Props to our drummer Pat Korte who really lays down a mean 2nd line groove on this, without the usual 2 drummers of a typical brass band..

I remember when we were in the studio the first night, I got some weird allergic reaction to something and my face started swelling up like crazy! At first, when we were cutting this song, it was just kinda annoying but manageable. Next, it got to the point where it was effecting my vision, no biggie, the show must go on! After that, it got so uncomfortable that I couldn’t really play the tuba with my face so puffy, so I got out a bass and we kept recording that way. The session came to an abrupt end when my throat started swelling a little - I knew it was probably not a big deal but didn’t want to risk it with the whole not being able to breathe thing, so Joe took me straight to the E.R. and hung there with me for hours. Thanks Joe!
