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 that seeks to emulate the township style of South African music.

Check out the following musicians and their music – Hugh Masekela, Abdullah Ibrahim and Dudu Pukwana to name but a few.

“Simply some of the most exciting and triumphant brass playing I have ever heard!”

“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.”

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

Lydia Van Dreel

"Who but the best professionals could live up to this ?... Everything about this disc is to be recommended, the recording is crystal clear and the playing and arranging of the first water”

“Wow! What a great CD. The playing is superb”

Dr. Robert Childs
Musical Director, Cory Band

“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.”
