“Brass has a very distinctive sound. It’s delicate but powerful, but it’s also melancholic and plaintive.” – Johann Johannsson
Look at the brass section of a band or orchestra, and you won’t see many women there. This episode is different. We have an hour filled with brass music performed by some marvelously talented brass players – all women.
