The members of Twilight Trombone Quartet are Takeshi Imamura, Akihiro Higashikawa, Junichi Hirota, and bass trombonist Keiichiro Sato. It formed in 2008 by graduate and undergraduate students studying together at Tokyo University of the Arts. Since its inception, the band has been involved in a wide range of activities, including appearances at various concerts, events such as the National Trombone Festival, and charity events. In particular, the works created and adapted by the members, which give full play to the charm of the instrument trombone and their respective characteristics, are the core repertoire of this quartet. In addition, critically acclaimed performances such as skit-themed musicals developed a stage that was not bound by the framework of a trombone quartet.
侍BRASS formed in the fall 2006, which is the strongest Brass Band now in Japan. This is a wonderful brass ensemble containing all the leading brass players from Tokyo Opera City to Kasugai. This Japanese brass ensemble contains members including Eijiro Nakagawa, the iron man trombonist, Eric Miyashiro, who captivates with his superhuman high tones, Kenichi Tsujimoto, the principal player of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, and Kei Misawa, who is also a composer. The name of the internationally recognized “Samurai” is appropriate for the members. It is basically a octet brass band, which is very active in Japan with a big popularity.
In 2005, Osamu Jinshiro, a trumpet player living in Zushi City, called for the formation of the group. Since then, they have continued to perform in Zushi every year without changing members, and their performances have already spread all over Japan. The most distinctive feature of Nagisa Brass is that unlike traditional brass ensembles, the use of two horns brings depth and stability to the sound. It's about expanding. Also, composer Kaoru Wada, who is also a member of the band, and the players themselves have created a great number of original and arranged works, and as a pioneer of the brass ensemble, they are always attracting attention both domestically and internationally. The rich musicality and transcendental technique of the soloists, and the rich variety of repertoire created by the original organization are unparalleled in Japan. The playful stages created by top players in a relaxed atmosphere have been well received every time. In addition to releasing "Nagisa Brass Solisten" (Harbor Records) so far, they plan to publish original music in the future.

" Wagner for Five Bones " is composed by Ben van Dijk, who is currently Professor at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, and one of the best, well-known bass trombone players in the world. I like this piece because it contains the most impressive musical moments in Wagner's "Ring des Nibelungen '', which can be a very practical material to introduce Wagner and his composition to freshman year music students, non-music major students, and beginners who love classical music. Also, it contains some of the bass trombone audition excerpts, such as the Spear motif, Das Rheingold, and Valkyrie, etc. which provides a very good way to help the low brass section ( Two tenor trombones, one bass trombone, and one tuba) to get to know Wagner's music with time, tone, intonation, accuracy and style. Ben van Dijk recorded this video at home in 2004 on his solo CD, First Song. He used his Thein Bass trombone and Contrabass trombone to finish this recording. I think it is ver
Iron Horse is a brass quintet piece composed by American composer Kevin Mckee (b.1980). You can hear two different trains in this two different movements. Here is the composer's explanation of this composition in below, which is from the website: https://www.kevinmckeemusic.com/iron-horse I. The Blue Goose In my hometown, Yreka, CA, there used to be a beautiful steam engine called the Blue Goose that took visitors on a slow excursion through Shasta Valley. Picture a vast valley of rolling hills surrounded by snowcapped mountains (not too unlike the Rohan realm from the Lord of the Rings). During many summers of my childhood my father and a friend of his used to go down to the depot with their guitars and entertain Blue Goose passengers with old-timey songs. I’d often tag along and watch as the train pulled out of the station. To this day there are few things that will set my imagination off as much as train tracks disappearing around a bend. The Blue Goose was my star
