You’ll find several of the city’s edgier slipstream jazzers—saxophonist Oscar Noriega, trombonist Curtis Hasselbring, and drummer Jim Black—in founding trombonist Jacob Garchik’s loud and unabashedly sentimental dozen-piece group devoted to the heavy-metal, brass-driven banda sound. Self-described as NYC’s “best (and only) Mexican banda,” Los Muertos draw much of their joyously weepy repertoire from Banda el Recodo, which gave contemporary Mexican music a kick in the brass during the ’40s.
