Grateful Brass with The Jazz Mafia

The Sound Room is aptly named. The focus is on the sound or the music. Unlike clubs where the performance may be peripheral to the experience, at the Sound Room the performance is the experience.  We are an all-ages listening room. We exist to present great music and promote jazz as an art form.The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz & Arts, a  501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on promoting the Arts.

Grateful Brass reimagines the iconic music of the Grateful Dead with an instrumentation of brass, drums and vocals (no guitar!). The music digs deep into the Grateful Dead discography with creative re-imaginations infused with the ebullient spirit of New Orleans Second Line, trance-like grooves of Afrobeat, brass-driven energy of Balkan music, and energetic Afro-Cuban polyrhythms, all sitting on top of a heavy foundation of funk.Grateful Brass is led by Adam Theis who is a current member of The Wolf Pack with Bob Weir &amp; Wolf Bros and whose arrangements are featured in their live shows, as well as two Bob Weir albums released in 2022 (“Bobby Weir &amp; Wolf Bros: Live in Colorado” and “Bobby Weir &amp; Wolf Bros: Live in Colorado Vol. 2”).Some of the ﬁnest musicians on the West Coast have joined Theis in creating this newest offshoot of the Bay Area music collective Jazz Maﬁa; many who have long collaborated with other artists in the Grateful Dead community like Mickey Hart, Joe Russo's Ain't Dead Yet, Peter Rowan, Reed Mathis, Jackie Greene, and Cold Blood.Grateful Brass embraces the challenge of carrying on a 50+ year tradition of imagination, creativity, and groovy improvisatory adventures. This loving homage will make you fall in love with Grateful Dead's music all over again, or for the ﬁrst time.Featuring: Kate Lamont - vocals; Adam Theis - trombone, band leader; Mike Olmos - trumpet; Ross Eustis - trumpet; Tommy Occhiuto - sax; Jonathan Seiberlich - sousaphone; Darian Gray - drums
