Live
and Kickin'
is
a
collection of pieces from two of our concerts in March and May 2003.
The CD was released in December
2003.
Live
and
Kickin' features one of the most outstanding British trombone
players, Brett Baker, who was featured at our March 2003 concert.
Alongwith 'Over the Rainbow' and 'Teddy Trombone', Mr. Baker played the
World
Premier of a new piece by Robin Dewhurst entitled 'Homelands'.
The
album contains marches by the American composer J.J. Richards and a
march by the well know British composer William Rimmer.
Also on the CD are
two of the very best pieces in the brass band repertoire: 'Resurgam' by
Eric Ball and 'Harmony Music' by Philip Sparke. The
Broadway musical 'Hello Dolly' is also represented on the CD.
Recorded and mastered by Ron Rolland, Fine Audio Recording/Mastering,
Chicago Illinois.

The
inspiration for this 2000 recording came about largely as a result of
playing Philip Wilby's stunning Jazz: Symphonic Dances for Brass

contains lighter jazz selections from American popular repertoire
