$15.00
Released in their tenth anniversary season, TNB's latest CD pays tribute to the performers and composers who have helped define Canada's musical landscape. The quintet is joined by living legend Guido Basso on trumpet and flugelhorn, along with one of Canada's finest drummers, Brian Barlow.
TNB's second release offers a tremendous range of Canadian music, with folk song arrangements by Ernest MacMillan and Howard Cable, along with commissioned works by Malcolm Forsyth and Jim McGrath. There's no shortage of instrumental pyrotechnics, either, as Joan dazzles in Carioca and Al amazes in Air Varie.
TNB's self-titled debut CD showcases the versatility that has become the group's trademark. With music from Bach to Ellington and beyond, this disc features plenty of virtuosic playing, including Al's stunning performance of Czardas and Scott's spectacular rendition of Clarinet Polka.
This setting begins in a contemplative mood. As it progresses, glittering descants and fanfares from the piccolo trumpet bring the arrangement to a suitably festive conclusion.
This simple but effective arrangement by Scott Irvine incorporates lovely settings of both of the tunes associated with this well-known carol.
This arrangement of one of the best-loved Christmas tunes begins with an unaccompanied horn solo. The melody is then passed around the quintet, accompanied by lush harmonies and soaring countermelodies, as the piece builds to a stirring finale.
