) | Label: TOCCATA CLASSICS Catalog: TOCC0687 Format: COMPACT DISC Uptown Brass Quintet; Lazarus, Charles; Sorenson, Dean; Mill City Chamber Players; University of Minnesota Jazz Ensemble; Stamp, Jack; Benedict, Marissa; Hideaway Wind QuintetThe American composer John Stamp (b. 1954) – universally known as ‘Jack’ – is a familiar figure in the worlds of the symphonic wind-band movement that flourishes in US universities and of the brass band on both sides of the Atlantic. This first Toccata Classics album of his music presents a cross-section of his recent works for woodwinds, brass and strings, varied in mood, from upbeat to reflective, and in style, from a solemn hymn-setting to buoyant, outdoors Americana à la Copland, now and then coloured by a hint of Jazz.
