More Canadian Brass

Continuing with the Canadian Brass, I always try to look for videos with the current players, or as many current players as possible.  This particular performance of Amazing Grace is from 2014, and appears to be heavily visually edited, along with the audio as well.  However, it is still a great performance.  I find it very interesting to listen to how the group's sound has changed over the nearly 50 years of the groups existence.

  1. I love the Canadian Brass, but sometimes it feels like they play too much of the same music too much of the time (this arrangement has been around for how many decades?). That being said, it is still a wonderful performance, though I don't recognize the horn player...

  2. The horn player is Bernhard Scully! He teaches at University of Illinois and he succeeded Eric Reed when he left for the American Brass Quintet. He is a phenomenal player. He plays often with the Minneapolis Chamber Orchestra, and his solo CD is out of this world good. Check it out. https://open.spotify.com/album/2zWeL4sDmkSZxM16uGxG4m
