If you've been in the Loop in Chicago anytime in the past few years, you've probably heard some awesome jazz coming from a group of guys with really crappy instruments. Always forming a crowd, The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble were a sight for ears and eyes. Their tunes were always incredibly melodious and so damn catchy. Looking around at the crowd, everyone usually had a smile on their face.
As it turns out, the group of guys have made their way to NYC and are now playing on these streets. I've seen them at Washington Square, Union Square and Times Square (reliable place to catch them). The Times has an interesting video piece on them, which you can find here. Not surprisingly, they've come from good pedigree. The Chicago Reader did a nice piece on them a couple of years ago.
