Revolutionary Snake Ensemble delivers another blast of brass-powered jazz, funk and New Orleans street rhythms with the blazing live album Serpentine!
The ouroboros, a serpent swallowing its own tail, is an ancient symbol of infinity and the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth. The omnivorous Revolutionary Snake Ensemble isn't quite eternal, but the brass-powered Boston combo devoirs and reinvents a panoply of irresistible grooves, and with Serpentine the sextet is poised to gracefully undulate into its fifth decade.

RSE's fifth album is a joyously uproarious live session recorded in 2024 at the Regattabar as part of the group's 35th anniversary run. Led by inveterately inventive alto saxophonist, flutist, and composer Ken Field, the RSE is a musical insurrection with enviable longevity.
