Sisters Folk Festival to present Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
Sisters Folk Festival will
present Chicago-based hip-
hop, jazz, funk and rock band
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
at Sisters High School
Auditorium, at 7 p.m. on
Thursday, November 17.
The evening will include a
workshop with the band at 4
p.m., free to students and $5
for community members in
support of Sisters’ middle and
high school band programs.
The Hypnotic Brass
Ensemble is a family band
consisting of seven broth-
ers who began their musical
training at tender ages by
their father, jazz-trumpeter/
bandleader Kelan Phil Cohran
(Earth, Wind & Fire; Chaka
Khan; and Sun Ra).
The boys went on to
form the Phil Cohran Youth
Ensemble in 1990. The fam-
ily toured the United States
performing complex origi-
nals written by Cohran and
other greats such as Duke
Ellington, Count Basie, and
even the music of classical
greats Bach & Beethoven.
Although the group’s early
musical training encom-
passed primarily elements of
instrumental performance,
the brothers were personally
being exposed to the music
of their own generation (hip-
hop, rock, reggae to name a
few) and absorbed these com-
ponents into the cosmic jazz
style of their father.
By 1999, the band of
brothers discontinued playing
with dad in order to find their
own sound, growing into the
band now known as Hypnotic
...this is a way
for us to partner with
the band programs
to support their
musical efforts
— Brad Tisdel
Brass Ensemble, or HBE.
“As an organization, we
are excited to expand our
musical palette to include
presenting a compelling, cut-
ting-edge horn-driven jazz,
hip-hop and funk band,” said
Brad Tisdel, SFF’s creative
director. “We are supportive
of all music education in the
Sisters schools, and this is
a way for us to partner with
the band programs to support
their musical efforts and to
give the kids an opportunity
to work with a contemporary,
working band who bring fresh
material to our kids that they
can relate to. Our hope out
of the workshop is our kids
will get a chance to join HBE
onstage for a performance
