Butter Chicken Brass Band
Fall Tour Recap

We had the honor of performing and lecturing at @psbehrend for their @theloganseriesmusicatnoon !

Band Dinner! (We couldn't find any good spots for Butter Chicken ☹️)

At the historic @strutherslibrarytheatre !
(The 18th oldest operating theater built in 1883)

The students were awestruck hearing South Asian music for the first time. It was a blessing to share the vast culture and history with them @strutherslibrarytheatre !

Earlier this week I had the unique opportunity to host a performance at the Empire Room, once played by legendary musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald, to name a few. Enjoy this solo clip from my original, “Transcend”. Shot on @insta360 X4 by @kylebrookssaxophone

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve joined the @connselmerinc family as a regional artist. I’ve been fortunate to have played @henriselmerparis saxophones for most of my life, and have always sought out their craftsmanship, ergonomics, but most importantly, their sound. In this video I’m playing the “Signature” model by Selmer Paris. Hope you enjoy! by @kylebrookssaxophone

Catching a vibe with one of three sold out crowds at @andysjazzclub this past month. What a run it’s been. So so so grateful for everyone who came out, and everyone who helped make it happen 🙏 by @kylebrookssaxophone

Im excited to announce my May residency at @andysjazzclub. It’s an honor to bring my music to one of Chicago’s most historic jazz venues for 4 nights this month. Come check out the music of Monarch, played by an amazing band. These shows are quickly selling out, so make your reservations today! by @kylebrookssaxophone

Watch the whole clip to experience a wide range of emotions lol. Love playing with these guys. Song is 312 by @imjoelmross

"Bollywood to Bronzeville Incorporating Southeast Asian Baraat Traditions into your Jazz Program"
Then at 8PM we will be opening up for @lowdownbrassband at @kennyswestsidepub by @kylebrookssaxophone

When you have to direct the band and play in the saxophone section at the same time 😂

Had a great semester with the @tritoncollege Jazz band getting to teach and perform this wonderful music. We have openings in just about every instrument, so if you’re interested in playing, please send me a message! by @kylebrookssaxophone
