Nine Brazilian guys and an American gal - she writes the music (a tasty mix of jazz with samba, bossa nova, African rhythms, funk, etc.), plays piano and percussion, and they wail on seven brass horns, bass and drums.
Bio / Background
Imagine a gaggle of trumpets, trombones, euphoniums (what the heck are they?), a tuba, bass, drums and piano in your face with rousing, stomping jazz rhythms, samba, African beats, Middle Eastern melodies, avant-garde funk, a touch of salsa, and....well, you get the idea. You've just discovered BRASS TACKS (as in "getting down to").
Amy Duncan is the creator of this madness...an American pianist, percussionist, writer and arranger who hails from Manhattan (where she first put BRASS TACKS together), but now lives in Rio de Janeiro with a whole new version of the band. The other nine members are all Brazilian guys, born and bred, thus their penchant for playing killer sambas...but they swing hard on the straightahead jazz numbers, too. Call it "Birth of the Cool" meets World Beat, if you will, BRASS TACKS dishes up a happy smorgasbord of international flavors.
Oh, and yeah, there really are two euphoniums in the band.
