 The Brass Pack’s diverse and wide-ranging repertoire starts with a solid core of enduring Great American Songbook standards that have been popular for listening and dancing, generation after generation. From there, it extends in all directions: back, to Dixieland; and forward, to rock ’n’ roll and beyond. It even takes a few turns in unexpected (and unexpectedly entertaining) directions. It’s all good, and good fun, especially in the hands of The Brass Pack’s trademark horn section and its array of trumpets, trombones, flugelhorns and more, propelled by some of the finest rhythm section players in the business.
