Brother Joscephus and the Love Revival Revolution Orchestra They're not some recently thawed band originally frozen in the '60s. This 11-piece outfit, led by singer/guitarist Bro Jo, plays self-proclaimed "secular gospel," a colorful mix of New Orleans soul, jazz, rock and gospel. They've been together less than two years, but can shake rumps in a Mardi Gras groove shaped with horns, guitars, a scrap rhythm section and back-up chorus singers. It's raucous and infectious gospel, without preachiness. Double Door Inn (Samir Shukla)
