CD Reviews

Big Brass Big Style

Andrew Murray | Norfolk, United Kingdom | 01/14/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an amazing CD - full Orchestral Brass Section with Rhythmn Section playing with some seriously original and high class arrangements. Anyone who wants a Christmas CD with attitude - this is the one !! Highly recommended."

This is a 'must have' Christmas album

Kenneth Cooper | Albuquerque | 12/27/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wow! What a surprise. Any Kenton entheusiast would recognize the beauty of this. Personally, after hearing some of the more recent Christmas CDs on the radio, regardless of genre, this, I think, should be named Christmas Music CD of the Year."

Fantastic brass playing

G. Newell | 01/22/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bought this CD and saw a performance live in December. It's really great.

I've heard Boston Brass live four times times, doing various tunes, and they've been terrific each time. For this CD, the group brought in some of the best brass players (including former members of Empire Brass and Canadian Brass among others) in the world to create a Stan Kenton-esque band.

JD Shaw's horn playing blows me away, and I love the sound of Andrew Hitz on tuba.

If you're a brass player (and even if you're not), you should buy this CD."
