Passion For Brass – $15.00

Celebrating 30 Years:
The long-awaited 7th CD by this award-winning Canadian brass ensemble of four trumpets, horn, tuba, four trombones and two percussionists. Passion For Brass offers a wide-ranging playlist from the captivating 17th century music of Matthew Locke (composer for King Charles II) to big band versions of popular hits featuring Paul Stevenson’s high flying trumpet and a unique arrangement for Hammond Organ and brass. Our fine soloists are featured in some of the loveliest songs of all time. This is Brassroots at its passionate best.

“It is just one more reason to recognize [Brassroots] as the cultural ambassadors that they are. A brilliant effort.” – Chris Morgan, Scene Magazine.
