From North of The Border
Canadian Brass brought what will probably the most toe tappers ever per show to the Rockport Chamber Music Festival, combining classical and popular rep with their signature hammy aesthetic. Overheard attendees opined: “This is a fun concert” both at intermission and after its conclusion. Those packed into the Shalin Liu Performance Center on last Tuesday knew it would be different from the beginning when the soft shuffle of tuba and trombone came rolling out from the lobby. Presently the whole band was processing from the rear of the hall to the stage—jazz funeral style—while playing a cool rendition of “Just a Closer Walk with Thee”…pun probably intended. Once on stage, they launched into a hot jazz variation of the same tune, complete with both musical and actual sparks. Lead trumpeter Joe Burgstaller explained they always like to start with an encore, just in case they don’t get to it later (though that would not be a problem for them on that night).
