Knock Yourself Out - Off Bass Brass |
||
|
The members of Off Bass Brass started working together as a quartet in 2004. From the early stages of the group's development, it was clear that the goal was to take their music in a different direction. Since that time, the Off Bass Brass has continued to explore widely different genres of music in order to set itself apart as a chamber ensemble, as well as expand the repertoire of the tuba-euphonium quartet.
The group also makes a concerted effort to commission new compositions and arrangements, often adding additional performers. They have been fortunate to work with outstanding composers and arrangers and truly gifted musicians from outside the group. It is this collaborative atmosphere that provided the impetus for this recording.
Off Bass Brass is:
Mark Jenkins, euphonium
Ryan McGeorge, euhponium
John Cradler, tuba
Tom Holtz, tuba
