Did Don Giovanni this weekend. Modern orchestra, but we played sackbuts, for balance. This let us play up to the marks without drowning people. It was our idea, but the MD was happy. (I don’t know whether he understood. Anyhow, happy.)

Evening listening: Joe Fiedler's Big Sackbut

I expected this disc from 2012 with only three trombones and a tuba to be some kind of weird chamber music, but it's actually swinging, funky modern jazz. Well executed concept with great soloing and strong groove despite the lack of rhythm section. Highly recommended.
