The Hot 8 Brass Band is a New Orleans-based brass band that blends hip-hop, jazz and funk styles with traditional New Orleans brass sounds. It was formed by Bennie Pete, Jerome Jones, and Harry Cook in 1995,[1] the merging of two earlier bands, the Looney Tunes Brass Band and the High Steppers Brass Band.[2]
Since June 2007, the band has been signed to the UK's Tru Thoughts label,[3] that label's first U.S. act.[4]
