Spanish Brass

TAPAS FOR YOUR EARS! Discover one of the world's finest brass quintets, ranking up there with the Empire Brass, Canadian Brass, and American Brass (Greg Alley, New York Brass Conference). Since capturing first prize in the 1996 Narbonne (France) International Brass Quintet Competition, this brilliant quintet has enthralled audiences worldwide.

Beside the evocative music of Spain, highlights of their repertoire include Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, and Antonio Carlos Jobimbut they are equally at home in Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces and traditional American spirituals. The group has recorded over a dozen CDs, the latest being the 20th anniversary compilation, The Best of Spanish Brass, on the Marquis label.
