Treme Brass Band

Treme Brass Band

The Treme Brass Band is a marching brass band from New Orleans, Louisiana led by snare drummer Benny Jones, Sr. The band, which plays traditional New Orleans brass band music, features a shifting lineup that has included trumpeters Kermit Ruffins and James Andrews, tenor saxophonists Elliot Callier and Frederick Sheppard, trombonist Corey Henry, and sousaphonist Kirk Joseph. Lionel Batiste appears consistently on the bass drum. They have released two albums, "Gimme My Money Back" on Arhoolie Records and "I Got a Big, Fat Woman" on the Sounds of New Orleans label. The band takes its name from New Orleans' Treme neighborhood; due to some historical confusion, the "Treme" in the name is sometimes spelled "Tremè" or "Tremé".
