The tradition of brass bands in America starts in New Orleans, late 19th century. New Orleans brass bands could feature trumpets, trombones, clarinets, saxophones, sousaphones and percussion. The music played by these bands was a fusion between European military band music and African folk music brought to the Americas by west African slaves and the idiom played a significant role in the development of traditional jazz.

Street musicians are musicians who perform in public places, often on the street. Street music can take many forms, ranging from traditional instrumental music to modern pop songs. Street musicians may play for tips from passersby, or they may be part of a larger street performance or event. Some street musicians are highly skilled and have been trained in music, while others may be self-taught or play more informally. Street music is often an important part of the cultural life of a city or town, and it can add to the vibrant atmosphere of public spaces.
