Monday YouTube Fix: Boston Brass and Imani Winds
Andrew Hitz
This footage is from a concert with our dear friends the Imani Winds. We're playing the Gil Evans/Miles Davis version of "It Ain't Necessarily So" arranged by our horn player, Chris Castellanos. This version features our trumpet player, Jose Sibaja, doing his best Miles impersonation. The entire original Porgy and Bess album is a master class on orchestrating. Gershwin was a genious! I love the colors that Chris got out of this very cool instrumentation, which includes Dan Hostetler on the drums.
Enjoy!
