Liner Notes

On March 26, 2021, sometime after or between lockdowns, the stars aligned for a tremendous Epic Brass show at The Esplanade Hotel’s famous Gershwin Room. To an actual room full of people, Jack and the band and their brilliant guests knocked it out of the park. This recording captures the energy, the joy, the power, the horniness (and a few warts along the way) of a classic bunch of great Aussie horn tunes. Enjoy!
