Kansas City Stomp

Composed by
Jelly Roll Morton
Arranged by
Jock McKenzie
Price
£ 20.00 

Jelly Roll Morton was one of the very first composers and performers of Jazz music. In turn, he and his band the Red Hot Peppers were some of the very first musicians to be recorded. At the height of the band’s popularity, the ability to record music had only just been developed sufficiently to make this possible. Kansas City Stomp is a typical example of Jelly Roll Morton’s style. Originally created at the piano and using typical Ragtime techniques (he himself was an accomplished piano player), Jelly Roll would then orchestrate the piece to include brass, woodwind and rhythm section instruments.

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.

“Superbrass is superfun ! This Phillip Jones-inspired brass ensemble based in London has recorded a remarkably colorful and engaging CD”

Lydia Van Dreel
The Horn Call Journal of the International Horn Society

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

John Sunier

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

Jiggs Whigham
International Jazz Trombone Soloist and Musical Director, BBC Big Band

“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

“Under the Spell of Spain is a showcase of virtuosic playing by some of London’s finest brass and percussion players. Highly recommended!”
