The Jazz Festival Parade

I did not know that there would be a small parade of brass bands down Oliver Plunkett Street until my wife was told about it an hour before!

It was just after sunset and dark and getting cold but there was huge excitement as the crowd followed the musicians down the street.

Merry Go Round, my 1997 work for tenor trombone and brass band, is a bright, uplifting addition to the concert repertoire. This original piece strikes a balance between accessibility and musical depth. I hope you enjoy it.

Our high school in Duns has an excellent music department. One of the things they do is to host a different top-rated brass band every year for a concert, giving youngsters (from S1-S6) the chance of playing alongside some of the pieces and giving senior students the experience of performing their exam pieces in public as solos. The concerts are always excellent.

Some years ago, fellow musician Rob van den Berg from the Netherlands made this hilarious #BrassBand #Penguin #Polka, creating every sound using the virtual analog software synthesizer #TALNoiseMaker. And with #Ardour on #Linux too.

I think it still slaps hard.

Underground is an album by Goran Bregović. Some of the songs on the album are from the film with the same title by Emir Kusturica, while others are inspired by the film. Several songs from this album, such as "Mesečina" and "Kalašnjikov", became instant-classic tavern and brass-band hits. (wikipedia)

Jazz​/​The African Sound

“Jazz​/​The African Sound” by Chris McGregor & The Castle Lager Big Band, one of the most important African records of all time, a lost global Jazz classic, and a true holy grail for collectors of Jazz and WorldJazz.

Post also includes Archie Shepp live in Stuttgart, with Brotherhood of Breath.

I both understand why and am annoyed that they noted it like that. 💀

#brassband

A lot of accidentals, including double sharp and double flat, on a section of sheet music for Eric Ball's The King of Kings.

I've noted the valve position on each note because there's no time to think.

New music for everyone, learned and performed in fairly short order. And we did some ensemble play as well, for a house concert on Saturday evening!

I arranged Regin Smidur and Take Five for my group. Also not released, naturally, so here's the original music:
