King Porter Stomp

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

This is an example of early Jazz music and builds on the Ragtime style that preceded it. King Oliver himself was a cornet player, jazz band leader and composer. Being based in the city of New Orleans his band was one of the earliest groups to be recorded; taking advantage of the new possibilities as technology advanced. Significantly, the second cornet player in King Oliver’s band was no other than a young Louis Armstrong. Louis Armstrong would become one of the most important figures in the history of jazz music.

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.

“An absorbing selection of refined choices and inspirational highlights. Marvellous."

“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

“Many recordings over the last few decades have demonstrated the superb quality of British brass playing; 'Under the Spell of Spain' will rightfully take its place among them.”
