This quartet truly lives up to it's name!

These four players come from varied backgrounds performing with brass bands, brass ensembles, symphony orchestras, concert bands, brass quintets, Dixieland bands, jazz ensembles, and as soloists. The level of experience each member brings to the quartet formed an immediate cohesive sound.
