The band began in 1998 under the direction of conductor Charlie Musgrave and is the backdrop to the recently released full-length documentary, “Jewel of the Desert,” produced and directed by Mary Apick.

“As the only British Style Brass Band in the Phoenix area thrilling audiences for more than 25 years, I can say without a doubt our December concert will be hottest ticket this holiday season,” said Bob Ouren, the Desert Brass Band musical director. “Our music attracts an audience from a wide-range of ages and backgrounds and this concert is guaranteed to captivate music-lovers and take them on a unique musical journey.”

Logan, an internationally acclaimed star, is a singer, trombone player and songwriter. Her music crosses many genres of music, including classical, jazz, blues and pop.
