Please note the correct spelling of our name: Brass Menažeri. If you can’t get that “ž” then it’s ok to spell it “Brass Menazeri.” It’s pronounced like “menagerie,” i.e. “meh na’ zheh ree.”

Warning: listening to the Brass Menazeri is addictive—once they start, you can’t stop.”
—Dina Maccabee, SF Bay Gaurdian
Perhaps I’d have been better off not knowing, before slipping this disc into the player, that Brass Menazeri (pronounced “menagerie,” by the way) are from San Francisco. Then I would have simply marveled at how deft and spunky they can be on certain tracks and how melancholically moody they can be on others. Or how they can throw in shades of Bourbon Street, Bollywood or Iberia while still giving the impression that they just might be from Bosnia, Serbia or Romania.
