Editorial Reviews

The debut by Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy (an octet consisting of four trumpets, both Craig Harris and Steve Turre on trombones, the French horn of Vincent Chancey, Bob Stewart on tuba and drummer Phillip Wilson) is one of their best recordings. Rather than playing their interpretations of pop tunes (which would be the direction Brass Fantasy would head in the future), this album finds the musicians performing originals by Bowie (including "When the Spirit Returns"), Stewart, trumpeters Bruce Purse and Malachi Thompson and the standard title cut. The music is both whimsical and explorative, making for a colorful set. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Very Strong Highlightsby xsk8rat

December 25, 2008: All the songs are enjoyable. However, "Nonet" is simply one of the best songs in my collection. It's a very driving piece that is a joy to play loudly. Written by Bob Stewart, the tuba player has given himself a serious workout for the duration.
