Influences
Sounds Like"If you're horny for Frank Zappa's modernist monkeyshines, move over to the Meridian Arts Ensemble. The brass quintet (plus drums and sometimes keyboards) are the renegade classicists who cut class to play Zappa, Beefheart and commissioned works from respected avant-garde composers. Finally, Zappa (and others) get the classical valvedation they deserve." -- from Progrography

Hola, es un gusto saber que estaran de nuevo Dando clase en Instrumenta Verano Oaxaca...

De nuevo nos deleitaremos con sus interpretaciones...

Me agrada oirlos tocar música de Frank Zappa...

Al respecto de esto, yo participare en Instrumenta con un Quinteto de Metales, y mi pregunta es: ¿Hay alguna manera de conseguir los arreglos de Frank Zappa que ustedes tocan?. Ya que me gustaria tocarlo con mi Quinteto. Espero poder recibir una respuesta de su parte...

Saludos, y de antemano, bienvenidos a México de nuevo...

ATTE.

Quand un quatuor classique s'enflamme sur un rythme à 5 temps, porté par un quartet de jazz et des tambours de l'Afrique et des Antilles, notre sale histoire commune liée par les chaînes de l'esclavage s'écrase devant l'évidence que l'humanité respire et gronde dans l'altérité.

Hello New York!

I am very pleased to announce that the score and parts for my Voyageur Suite for brass quintet are now available from Art of Sound Music.


The Voyageur Suite is based on three melodies sung by the voyageurs, French-Canadian men who guided and paddled the canoes of explorers and fur traders from Quebec and Montreal to the regions bordering the Great Lakes and on to the Mackenzie and Columbia Rivers during the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries. While they paddled hour after hour in their cramped canoes, the voyageurs sang of their canoes, their country, their life and their loves. It was premiered Feb. 15, 2007, by the Alaska Brass.

Thanks for pushing the envelope. Your music expands the concept of a what is at the core a brass quintet. It is a pleasure for the ear and the mind! I also thank you for your great contribution to the Austin Chamber Music Center Festival. Best wishes on the release of Timbrano and I hope you will come back to Austin soon.
