Description

Being of a certain age, I am often accused of being something of a Boomer and others anticipate that my musical tastes will be defined by my age. NOT SO !

I enjoy a very broad spectrum of music styles and genres.

This piece was written as an attempt to get my revenge on a particular ensemble; forcing them to include original musical quotes that hint at both The Bee Gees and Happy Mondays within the same piece.

Jock McKenzie

“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

“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 ?”

Graham Rickson

“This intriguing "water-borne" voyage runs the gamut from more classically-tinged interpretations to straight-ahead and improvised jazz. Along that journey we are treated to a highly inspired and masterfully presented performance.”

Nicholas F. Mondello

“One of the finest brass ensemble recordings that has ever come my way.”

Rodney Newton
Composer, arranger and music journalist

“Exploding onto the brass music scene with their debut album ‘Under the Spell of Spain’, the depth of versatility and virtuosity within the ranks of Superbrass has firmly secured it's place as one of the greatest large brass ensembles of all time”

Tom Davoren
Brass Band World

“All cleverly arranged and beautifully played, with excellent sonics.”
