Episode 2 – Swingin’ in a Roof Garden – Featuring Brass Against, Clora Bryant, and the Los Angeles Trumpet Ensemble

James Morrison introduces a range of brass music, including covers of Led Zeppelin and Tom Waits, jazz from Clora Bryant, and Foden’s Band play a Rodgers & Hammerstein classic.

Brass superstar James Morrison presents an hour of the very best brass music around, in all shapes, sizes and styles. Brass Against take on a hard-hitting classic by Led Zeppelin, and there are more incredible brass covers of music by Blackstreet, The Supermen Lovers, and Al Jarreau – plus a stunning reinterpretation of a Tom Waits ballad by Holly Cole with Canadian Brass. Foden’s Band, conducted by Howard Snell, play a powerful brass band arrangement of a Rodgers and Hammerstein favourite, and there’s funk from Liverpool band 6ix Toys, and The Hornheads. There’s also Jazz old and new, from JC Higginbotham, Clora Bryant, and the YAYennings Quartet, and a modern Big Band arrangement of the classic ‘Pure Imagination’. Top Brass has it all!
