Brass Bang. Bernstein, Fresu, Petrella & Rojas
Label: Bonsaï Catalog: BON 150101 Format: CD Steven Bernstein, Paolo Fresu, Gianluca Petrella, Marcus RojasComposed by: Brass Bang! Italian trumpeter Paolo Fresu has never shied away from expanding the vocabulary of jazz. Unusual concepts, avant-garde soundscapes and non-standard instrumental combos are challenges he takes on with relish. Brass Bang! is the fruit of Fresu's live encounters with trumpeter Steven Bernstein's ensemble Sex Mob, trombonist Gianluca Petrella's Cosmic Band and Marcus Rojas, who is considered one of the world's finest tuba players. The resulting album presents a little-big brass band with great soloists and an incredible universe of poetry, humor, sweeping rhythms and above all, fun. Price: $25.98 |
