Should be a great show if anyone is interested AL-Chez-and-The-Brothers-of-Funk Dominion, NY 428 Lafayette Street New York, NY (212) 473-1698 AL Chez & The Brothers of Funk “Chez…turned in a passionate, pulsating set, arguably the best of the festival.” – CNY (2009 Syracuse Jazz Festival) "The Brothers Of Funk.... A great mix of rock , funk , swing and plain good fun . Chez is the frontman with that big horn sound " - ( CBS.com ) Al Chez & The Brothers of Funk is led by trumpeter Al Chez. Al has had an extensive career as a trumpet player. He began playing trumpet at the age of 9, when he joined his father's local drum corps, the Saints and then went on to join the Garfield Cadets. In 1979, Al joined forces with Jon Bon Jovi to create the band the Atlantic City Expressway, which played New Jersey shore clubs for five years. Al met up with Paul Shaffer and Will Lee in a club in New York, in 1986 and was asked to do some touring with the Worlds most Dangerous band . They performed for about two years at such venues as the Jacksonville jazz festival and the Summerfest festival in Wisconsin. Al is currently the resident trumpet player in the CBS Orchestra on the Late Night Show with David Letterman. Al has also toured with bands such as Tower of Power , Robert Cray Band , Dave Edmunds , Natalie Cole and Bonjovi. In 2008, Al Chez met up with trumpet player Jimmy Steele and Jarred Streiff while working in the Rochester, NY area . The result of this meeting was Al Chez & The Brothers of Funk. This 17-person band is not your typical big band. The band consists of some of the most talented and sought after working musicians in the New York and New Jersey area. Their powerful rock arrangements coupled with Al’s stratospheric trumpet playing and soulful vocals makes for a high-energy and memorable show. In 2009, the band performed at the Syracuse Jazz Festival bringing thousands to their feet. They are returning to that festival this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
