Description
The Blues Factory is a vibrant jazz-influenced work for brass band by the popular Dutch composer Jacob de Haan. The piece explores two distinct moods: a gritty, slow blues section followed by a high-energy rock shuffle. It offers the band a chance to explore “big band” style articulations and rhythmic feels within the traditional brass ensemble. With its catchy hooks and driving percussion, it is an exciting contemporary work that is a “sure-fire” crowd-pleaser for any entertainment program.
