Vinyl LP pressing. Bria Skonberg’s ‘Brass’ is a celebration of her favorite elements of trumpet playing featuring Luther Allison, Eric Wheeler & Darrian Douglas. After many years of working to synthesize voice and trumpet, Juno Award Winner Bria Skonberg has chosen to explore them both individually. Her new album on Cellar Music is the first of those explorations – ‘ Brass’. For Bria Skonberg studying the trumpet has been a true labor of love. Through precision, power, style, and/or subtlety, this collection of songs and arrangements is a celebration of her favorite elements of playing the trumpet. Her trio of Luther Allison, Eric Wheeler and Darrian Douglas provides a highly swinging, steady yet versatile foundation for the project. The trumpet is ultimately an extension of Bria Skonberg’s voice, and the beauty of instrumental music is it can often express emotions without words.

Tracklist:

1. Markham Sunrise
2. New Orleans Bump
3. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
4. Dolly Jones

6. Of Liberty
7. Comin’ Home Baby/You’d Be So Nice to Come Home to

The trumpet is ultimately an extension of Bria Skonberg’s voice, and the beauty of instrumental music is it can often express emotions without words. As with previous projects, Skonberg finds a way forward by building on the past – writing a number for pioneer brass instrumentalist Dolly Jones, as well as featured future trailblazer Kellin Hanas.
