3.0 out of 5 stars
a wonderful resource for brass, January 1, 2011
This review is from: Brass Band Music 1: Asia (Audio CD)
I have owned this CD since it first came out, and I go through long periods of not listening to it, then other times when I play it over and overr to decipher the message inside. At the time of it's release I learned of the collector's interest through an article in Smithsonian Magazine, and I was intrigued.
I play trumpet, ever since fourth grade. ( I am now 55 years old, you do the math). My ears perk up whenever I hear a trumpet on the radio. Like most brass players I am intrigued by the idea that brass is a worldwide genre. Hows did this come about? it i a legacy of colonialism.
Lomng before Paul Simon, Long before Putumayo, the collector of this CD was traveling to the far corners of the globe documenting the evolution of brass bands.....
