Profile

A total of 17 works, including works by Louis Armstrong and George Gershwin.
Luther Henderso wrote three works based on JS Bach's preludes and fugues: bebop, cool jazz, and dixie jazz. Although it is a small piece, the transformation from the original song is amazing.
It is a smart collection of works that demonstrate the true power of Canadian brass.
