Album Notes

Versatile, and by no means a stranger to jazz on the big band stand, it was perhaps inevitable that Musical Director Graham Hickman, would lead his band on a swing excursion sooner rather than later. Under his expert guidance, and with the establishment of an annual "Black Tie Ball" fund-raising event, Woolston Brass have developed a significant big band repertoire. Spiced with vocals, keyboards and a rhythm section, Rhythm 'n' Brass is a feast of favourite songs from the Black Tie playlist topped off with big band instrumental classics. Though garnished aplenty, rest assured Woolston's big brass band sound is undiminished. It's as boisterous as ever, only with some fun thrown in. And if fun is infectious, you'd better brace yourself for a heavy dose of the good times with Rhythm 'n' Brass.
