Brisbane. Brass Jam now at the Burrow in West End!
Do you love playing your Trumpet, Cornet, Trombone, Baritone, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Sousaphone, Sackbutt etc with other people, but just don’t have time to commit to a weekly Brass Band/ Big Band/Concert Band rehearsal?
Wouldn’t it be nice to play once a month at one of West end’s best and homely bars with no responsibilities to rock up each week? Are you tired of going to jams and not being heard or just playing the hits in a 1970’s cover band?
Out of the ashes of going to too many blues jams where the horns are an afterthought, ‘Brisbane. Brass Jam’ was created out of a guy’s desire to play some cool tunes with other brass musicians without the responsibility/time of having to do a weekly rehearsal. Think pop-up brass band with beer.
Note: This isn’t a Blues Jam. Most genres will be explored through the sheet music on offer. If you have a suggestion or some sheet music, bring a few copies along and we can have a geezer. Composers and Arrangers are welcome
Pieces we’ll be having a look at in our first session include:
So many cool Balkan pieces!
Hot to Go!
Uh Oh and Paradox by riot jazz brass band
Balkanified ‘just the two of us’
And many more!
For Any E flat Brass instruments, you unfortunately, will need to do your own transposing. sight-reading skills or an eagerness to play would be helpful. Arrangers/composers are welcome to present their work. To be more inclusive, the Balkan pieces have alto saxophone parts
No reeds, no leads, no strings…. just brass, the occasional drummer in the future, and maybe a sneaky beer (or two).
Bring your instrument, Bring a stand if you have one, Bring a lobster or two for the great food and fine beers flowing from the Burrows taps.
if you can bring a tablet device that can connect to google drive and the internet (some paper copies will be available).
First Tuba player through the door gets a free beer!
