Zebulon, one of Brooklyn's best kept secrets, has been host to many big events since its opening, including a Butch Morris residency with drummer Kenny Wollesen's big band, and most recently the Tubapalooza series organized by tubist Ron Caswell. This fourth installment in the popular series includes three unique bands all featuring tubist Ron Caswell : the dark carnival band The Beat Circus and NYC gypsy brass band Slavic Soul Party...opening the night is Judith Berkson's East River Orchestra.



“The Beat Circus could be the house band for the dark carnival in Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes", its full-length CD Ringleader's Revolt the accompaniment to some faded old black-and-white cartoon that never saw the light of day because it's creator's sense of humor made others...uneasy." -- Weekly Planet Slavic Soul Party has forged a new brass band culture from the heart of Brooklyn, melding Gypsy, East European, Mexican, and Asian immigrant backgrounds with American jazz, groove, and soul. Led by percussionist Matt Moran, Slavic Soul Party averages 100 shows per year, including performances in the US, the Balkans, and Turkey.
