Description

“Sunny was written for the jazz group Loose Tubes in 1985 and performed frequently. The rubato trumpet solo was originally intended for clarinet but as a trumpeter in the band I fancied having fun with it myself. There is also a reference to a moment in West Side Story which was on my turntable at the time.” J.E.

John Eacott is a jazz trumpeter, composer and academic. After Loose Tubes he composed many scores for TV, Film and Theatre including 'Gormenghast' and the2012 RSC 'Taming of the Shrew' while lecturing in music and sound art. Since 2008 he has focussed on 'Floodtide' making live sonification performances of tidal water.

“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.”

Kenneth Crookston
British Bandsman

“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 ?”
