WHAT IS A SHOUT BAND?
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shout_band
"A shout band is a traditional, soul based musical style that arose in some predominantly African American Protestant churches in the 1920s.
The shout band tradition of the southeastern United States originated from the exuberant church music of North Carolina. African American brass players formed bands, predominately trombone-based, inspired by jazz, blues, Dixeland, gospel, and old time spirituals: a more soulful version of a New Orleans Brass Band. The United House Of Prayer For All People, a Holiness Denomination founded in 1919 in Massachusetts, is particularly known for its Shout Bands."

Video #2 - Amazing Brass Band Jam at DC Street Festival



loaded by AREARCHIVE on Dec 16, 2010

Filmed at a DC neighborhood art festival in September 2007, we stumbled onto an incredible gospel brass band from a neighborhood church that had set up an impromptu jam on a street corner. As they played a huge crowd gathered to see and hear them perform. These guys played their hearts out, and the show was truly amazing! I was lucky to catch one of their numbers with my little camera (a Canon PowerShot S410 4MP Digital Elph.)
