notes
Dante Rosano: Trumpet
Marco Rosano: Bari-Sax
Evan Dain: Banjo and High-hat
It's a hot summer morning. We truck to the plaza with excitement and dread close in competition. We had performed as an early-jazz duet for some years, usually putting on a two-hour show, or maybe even three hours, but never four. I had tried to get this gig down to three, but she wouldn't budge - four hours or nothing, that's final. I weighed our options, thought for some days. That's a long time for a bari-sax/trumpet duet to entertain an audience, and the cost of getting my trumpet surgically removed from my face after the engagement. Well, we took it, and this is where my story leads.
In preparation for our early-jazz/ dixieland marathon, I contact Evan Dain, an old friend, and one of the best musicians in Arizona. I make certain that he's to bring his complete arsenal of instruments: banjo, trombone, guitar, accordian, and high-hat. He left the tuba at home -- Marco belts out bass-lines on the bari beautifully.
We pull into the plaza, spot our performance location, and haul everything over, my trumpet seeming mere pocket-change compared to Evan's arsenal. After several minutes of setting up, Evan asks, "well, what instrument should I try out first?". Marco replys, "I don't know, why not try the Banjo?". It seemed logical to me: banjo for chords, bari for bass lines, and trumpet on melody. We arc ourselves into position, think up a quick set list of songs we all know, and count the first one off. It sarts a little rough, but Jesus Christ! What a Sound!. So full, and juicy! I've never heard, much less, played in such a small group that sounded so.......big.
The sound was so complete and alive and vibrant. We saw it on the people's faces as they lit up behind their stacks of tomatoes, and onions, and bags of coffee beans, and home-grown artichokes.
After the first song, Evan exclaimed, "Jesus! If I knew you guys could play like that I wouldn't have brought all these damn instruments!!
-Dante Rosano

These twins are pure talent!
author: Steve GurgevichLast night the Jazz Bros (the identical twins, Danta and Marco Rosano) were playing at a local restaurant. My wife and I kept saying, "Man these guys are really cool... what a sound". And we noticed just about every other patron in the place was also getting up to see where and who this music was coming from in the back of the restaurant. Then I notice everyone is asking to purchase CDs... myself included. Being a CDBaby person myself, I asked if they offered their work here too. So, I was very eager to write this review and tell you that these guys have a sound that will take you back 75 year and then slingshot you into the future. "Way cool" is an understatement for these boys. SG - Tucson, AZ
Worth every penny!
author: Jim CoddOne of the best recordings I've heard in a long time. Excellent music. Hope to find more from the Inevitable Jazz Bros.

A beautifully recorded jazz trio of bari-sax, trumpet, and banjo/high-hat, the band explodes with that early-jazz/dixieland livelyness. If you're into the kind of jazz that gets you up and keeps you movin', you'll want to check this one out. Hey, even if you're not, it is a worthwhile venture into dixieland.
An amazing ensemble for any location.
author: Angela FitzsimmonsStrikes an old fashion dixie land cord, but spices it up with a swingy, jazzy kick. An amazing ensemble for any venue.
Dixiecup Jazz meets Dikembe Mutombo on Red Bull
author: Moochie NorrisBrilliant musicianmanship and top-notch energy- makes your feet tap uncontrollably and your pulse race. Does for dixieland what Morphine did for rock.
