Akron - Innovations in Brass 7/7/2011


Recommended Posts

Nice bluesy quartet of trumpets to start the show. Love the rotating wheel formations with the horns, guard, and drums on the field, too. Ohh, opening set is an old style movie projector and the rotating parts are the film! Neat!

I get that Spirit's trying to evoke old school gumshoe movies, but the vocal effects are a little too corny for a show about film noir.

So are the eerie synth effects. The corps is way too talented for those kinds of distractions.

Horns have a great sound. Mellos wail on the last note of the opener!

Mello soloist to start the second piece. Lady in red has arrived.

Now for the fun part: Harlem Nocturne. This is a fun arrangement. Nice bari feature to start, although they have to rip that opening line a little cleaner.

Yeah, baby, Spirit is back.

Nice drum break, crowd was into it. Park and blow with the horns in a huge arc, guard up front adding a lot of color.

Stadium is filled with the final note of Harlem. Crowd approves.
