Vol 2

Brass musician James Morrison plays brass music in all styles from rock and pop, to jazz and traditional, tonight featuring Sarah Willis, Marshall Gilkes and the Neoteric Ensemble.

The brassiest show on the airwaves returns, hosted – as ever – by one of the greatest living brass musicians, James Morrison. Tonight’s show features familiar tracks, as well as rarely heard recordings from the back of James’s cupboard, including a cover of Beyoncé by BrassRoots, a Mambo from Sarah Willis, Jazz from Bill Coleman and Dickie Wells, Big Band from Rita Rio, and Ska from Carlos Malcolm. Plus, original music from the Neoteric Ensemble, the Intergalactic Brasstronauts, the Superhighway Band, and one of the world’s greatest trombonists, Marshall Gilkes. There’s also an incredible 10-trumpet version of Carnival of Venice, and a rarely heard brass instrumental version of the worldwide no.1 hit Bom Bom by Sam and the Womp.
