Blue Christmas

“The end result, is a resounding success. This is not a commercial CD, this is education, passion and self belief written in the sleeve notes”

“Stunning playing all round and a perfect 'snapshot' of the incredibly high standards of performance in brass playing in London today."

“Many recordings over the last few decades have demonstrated the superb quality of British brass playing; 'Under the Spell of Spain' will rightfully take its place among them.”

“This is joyous stuff; an intelligent, coherent crossover disc, performed with phenomenal punch. Brilliantly recorded too – what’s the point of assembling a collective of virtuoso brass players if they can’t make your ears bleed ?”

“This is absolutely one of the finest and most creative brass ensembles in the world."

“Every now and again a recording that is both truly outstanding and will have great appeal to brass band listeners appears on the shelves. We are delighted to make it the first recipient of our CD of the Year Editors Award.”
