BALKAN GYPSIES
Like Harley-Davidsons, Gypsy brass bands have long been renowned for their speed, heft and noise: an oom-pah that's unstoppable at any speed. Boban Markovic Orkestar's "Live in Belgrade" (Piranha) does pause for traditional ballads, and it eases back sometimes for Markovic's zigzagging fluegelhorn solos or saxophones that trill like bagpipes. But mostly it riffs and punches, swaggers and blares in Balkan odd meters or funky 4/4.
