Hey, folks!

Thought I'd start a thread where we can share our favourite clips of all those great brass players. Here are two to start us off.

For virtuosity of a different type, I can really appreciate Alison's style, tone and clarity of articulation. Very classy!

Edited to add:

Saw these guys at Easter when they came to the UK. Amazing. I have never seen so much enthusiasm before. Their big band was just amazing - no clips on youtube so one of the orchestra from the Proms will have to do!
