Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is a Chicago-born collective of seven brothers, sons of jazz legend Phil Cohran, who fuse the brass-band tradition with hip-hop, funk, soul, and jazz. Raised on their father’s teachings and nurtured by the city’s vibrant music scene, they developed a bold, genre-bending sound that’s both timeless and modern. Known for electrifying live performances and collaborations with artists like Gorillaz and Mos Def, the group’s brassy power and rhythmic swagger reflect a deep family legacy and a fearless spirit of innovation.
