BRASS GROOVES is a two volume set of original charts by Dallas Brass composers John Wasson and John Schuberg.
Swing, Salsa, Blues, Reggae, Rock, Funk—and more! Fun to play!
For middle school and high school players on up!
The BRASS GROOVES series is designed to encourage young students to get involved in small ensembles, but the books have proven to be a lot more versatile.
COLLEGES — Perfect for student quintets to supplement the traditional repertoire; nice recital encores; especially effective on casual gigs. Ideal for faculty quintets on school concerts.
GIGGING QUINTETS — Play the charts down once or twice and they are good to go! Also great for background gigs…maybe even dancing!
COMMUNITY BANDS — Start a quintet within your band. Play before, or within band concerts, or for other community events.

Great idea...Great charts...a nice crossover from concert band to jazz band and a cool way to get kids excited about playing in
small ensembles.

Dallas Brass is onto something really special. Along with gifted writer John Wasson they have created a valuable pedagogical contribution certain to be a popular addition to any music library. Brass Grooves is a win-win for all.

Finally, a collection of program pieces that entertains the audience, challenges the individual student, and motivates student brass ensembles to work independently. Once my students had prepared one piece for a concert, they began planning to continue performing other pieces at future concerts and festivals!
Very cool.
