Avi Lebo Double Trombone Quintet - Shades Of Brass

Review by Justin Kane

The album Shades Of Brass by Avi Lebo Double Trombone Quintet is a masterpiece of brass music. The quintet, consisting of two trombones, a French horn, a trumpet, and a tuba, delivers a powerful and dynamic performance throughout the album. The compositions are a mix of original pieces and arrangements of classical and jazz standards, all of which showcase the versatility and range of the brass ensemble.

The album opens with the lively and upbeat "Brass Groove," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The quintet displays their impressive technical skills and musicality in each track, with standout performances in the hauntingly beautiful rendition of "Moon River" and the energetic "Jazz Suite."

The arrangements are well-crafted and highlight the unique qualities of each instrument in the ensemble. The balance between the different brass instruments is expertly managed, with each player given their moment to shine.
