Brass bands play a leading role in the cultural life of the city of New Orleans, USA. Playing for ceremonies and celebrations, the band will often head-up a parade and will be followed by the Second Line, a group of celebrants, mourners, singers and dancers that walk / march / dance along to the music. The Band’s in Town begins with a call to attention; informing all present that the parade is about to start.

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.

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

“Under the Spell of Spain defies any category other than: superb.”

“Brilliant technique and superb artistry from all concerned.”

“Another impressive offering then from Superbrass, and a worthy successor to their excellent debut disc”

“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 ?”
