The Canadian Brass


If you're not familiar with the Canadian Brass, it is a brass quintet that does classical, pop, and jazz, mostly classical, mostly Baroque. I have some of their CDs and have had the pleasure of seeing them in concert. They're funny and put on a great show.

Here are a few links:

Bach's Toccata & Fugue (these guys are good!):
