"It was a glorious, grand, exciting, entertaining, rafter-ringing performance... Had the audience had its way, the
group would still be playing. I, for one, would still be listening, still be toe-tapping, still be applauding – and still be enthralled," reported the Napa Register. From Carnegie Hall to the Kennedy
Center, from the Boston Esplanade to Merv Griffin's Resort in Palm Springs, throughout forty-six states and eleven countries, trumpeter Earl Raney continues to lead his band of virtuoso brass players on a spirited
romp through five centuries of holiday music, blending serious artistry with light-hearted entertainment. The thrill of listening to great brass music is only surpassed by the contagious fun the performers and
audience are sharing. It's no wonder Epic Brass receives repeat invitations year after year. Experience brilliant, take-your-breath-away performances of Baroque Christmas masterworks, beloved carols, and
rollicking renditions of all the holly jolly favorites! Listen to what the critics say, then listen to an Epic Brass CD and hear what their horns say. |
