Cool Brass and Hot Brass celebrate the 25th
Anniversary of Cala Records. They derive from The London Sound, Cala’s renowned signature series. London's finest brass
players and arrangers provide dazzling selections of jazz, Latin, show and popular music, performed by large ensembles
of trumpets, French horns and trombones.
In Hot Brass, the London trumpet, French horn and trombone fraternities revel in exuberant virtuosity, delivering
high-energy music with all the panache and versatility you’d expect from musicians at the very top of their field.
London’s richness as a musical capital ensures that exceptional players such as these are supported by world-class
arrangers and composers. Hot Brass presents 11 imaginative arrangements of popular standards and four especially
commissioned original numbers. The music ignited our performers, as we trust it will do for our valued listeners.
Try Cool Brass for the mellow, chilled side of what we do.
