Description

As the title suggests, this piece comprised two contrasting sections.

The first is a some what tongue-in-cheek hymn scored in a nostalgic barbershop style. Ideally this should be played in an old school manner; lots of vibrato as in an ill-disciplined village band.

The second section adopts the rhythms and harmonies of the South African townships; swinging in with an infectious feel good mood.

Jock McKenzie

“Under the Spell of Spain is an extraordinary CD, in company with the finest large brass ensemble recordings ever made. This is a must buy CD!”

Don Lucas
Boston University writing in the International Trombone Association Journal

“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”

Richard Walker
British Trombone Society

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

“One of the all time great brass recordings OF ALL TIME”

Jiggs Whigham

“The CD is just fabulous. The ensemble playing is fantastic; the tightness of the ensemble is amazing; the balance and dynamics are just brilliant.”

Philip Biggs
The Brass Herald

“The entire programme can be likened to a sumptuous feast, with each track having its own highly delectable and thoroughly satisfying flavour. The CD is surely compulsive listening for all brass and percussion enthusiasts.”
