Description

Part of a collection of thirty original compositions and arrangements entitled Ba-Da-Boom Brass.

Inspired by the heritage and culture of world and historical brass-related styles.

We hope this repertoire will prompt a growing inquisitiveness for brass players of all ages and styles and was created with a brass club or gathering in mind.

Set at a moderate / training band standard, these pieces can be played by a flexi group of mixed brass instruments plus assorted optional percussion.

A minimum of 4 brass players is necessary, but the maximum is limitless.

All 4 brass voices have occasional divisi passages; in these instances more texture and harmonic colour is added.

In the instance of using just four brass players, playing just the top part in each case will provide a cohesive performance.

King Porter Stomp - This is an example of early Jazz music and builds on the Ragtime style that preceded it.

King Oliver himself was a cornet player, jazz band leader and composer.

Being based in the city of New Orleans his band was one of the earliest groups to be recorded; taking advantage of the new possibilities as technology advanced. Significantly, the second cornet player in King Oliver’s band was no other than a young Louis Armstrong.

Louis Armstrong would become one of the most important figures in the history of jazz music.

“This is a wonderfully charismatic disc with playing of the highest quality. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

David Bremner

“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 ?”
