The\u00a0Gold Coast Jazz Society<\/a>\u00a0will launch its 2025\u20132026 concert season with the explosive energy of\u00a0The\u00a0Dirty Dozen Brass Band, live on\u00a0Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 7:45 p.m. in the Amaturo Theater at the\u00a0Broward Center for the Performing Arts<\/a>,\u00a0201 Southwest Fifth Avenue, Fort Lauderdale,\u00a0Florida 33312.\u00a0Direct from New Orleans, this Grammy-winning ensemble will deliver \u201cAn Evening of New Orleans Jazz, Funk, and Soul,\u201d an experience that promises to have audiences dancing in the aisles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A hallmark of the Dirty Dozen is the space each member has to bring their own ideas to the table. Founding member Roger Lewis<\/a>, who once toured with Fats Domino and Irma Thomas, encourages that openness: \u201cWe\u2019ve got something for your mind, your body and your soul! In most bands, you don\u2019t have that kind of freedom.\u201d That spirit makes the Dirty Dozen unlike any other brass band. Their music is a living tapestry \u2014 each musician weaving in threads of their own style, bound together by a single, unshakable rhythm.<\/p>\n

The Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a perfect fit for Gold Coast Jazz Society \u2014 as an ensemble whose energy, eclecticism, and joy capture the very spirit of our series this year. With state-of-the-art acoustics and intimate atmosphere, the Amaturo Theater is the ideal backdrop for the band\u2019s famed \u201cmusical gumbo\u201d \u2014 a simmering mix of jazz, funk, bebop, and soul that has redefined the New Orleans brass tradition.<\/p>\n

Formed in 1977,\u00a0The\u00a0Dirty Dozen Brass Band evolved from rehearsal rooms and second-line parades into global stages. At a time when gigs were scarce, they pushed the brass band tradition forward, weaving in contemporary influences while keeping the heartbeat of New Orleans alive. That bold innovation has since carried them across five continents and more than thirty countries, inspiring generations of brass bands and reshaping the sound of New Orleans itself.<\/p>\n
