The seven sons of jazz great Phil Cohran carry on his musical legacy. Hypnotic Brass Ensemble are seven brothers from the south side of Chicago. Together they have toured throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and South America playing with everyone from Prince, Mos Def , Mick Jones (The Clash) and Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz). They’ve performed at Coachella, WOMAD AU, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall.
The documentary film Brothers Hypnotic, explores their music, work ethic, life and experience of being raised by their jazz legend father Phil Cohran. Although the group’s early musical training encompassed primarily elements of instrumental performance, the brothers brought the music of their own generation (hip-hop, rock, reggae to name a few) and fused these components with the cosmic jazz style of their father.
