Description

Part of a collection of twelve contrasting pieces entitled "Let ‘em Loose", a new initiative for Junior brass players, who are engaging in their very early and initial ensemble activities.

This resource helps develop both tight rhythmic ensemble skills alongside the freedom to improvise.

Created for a combo of (minimum) 3 brass players up to 30+.

Parts 1 & 2 require trumpet or cornet while part 3 can be played by any middle / lower pitched brass instrument. All keys and clefs are catered for.

The drum kit accompaniment helps add style and identity to each of the pieces.

The duration of each piece is completely flexible, with each piece consisting of a HEAD section and an IMPROVISATION section. Each section can be played as many times as best suits the needs of the ensemble.

Think of all that a young brass player stands to miss out on if a basic skill and confidence in improvisation, is not part of their musical tool kit.

A piece in a Latin American style.

Prior to the improvisation section, the piece relies on a strong and accurate reading of the rhythms in particular.

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

“Stunning playing all round and a perfect 'snapshot' of the incredibly high standards of performance in brass playing in London today."

Peter Bassano
Head of Brass Royal College of Music (retired)

“Brilliant technique and superb artistry from all concerned.”

Denis Wick

“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

“This is absolutely one of the finest and most creative brass ensembles in the world."

Marc Dickman
University of South Florida writing in the International Trombone Association Journal

“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.”
