with a repertoire ranging from the 16th (G. Gabrieli) to the 20th (Husa) centuries as well as chamber jazz and
original music by members of the group. They began playing together in 1993 and have performed over 100
concerts annually, including three tours of Japan, two Middle-Eastern tours, and concerts in Canada and the Virgin
Islands. They have recorded three albums: Time in September (jazz), Song & Dance (classical/jazz), and Christmas
Time is Here. They are working on a new CD, More Money Jungle . . . Ellington Explorations. Rhythm & Brass is
committed to working with aspiring musicians and will provide two experiences for our students: a master class

trombone, tuba, and percussion; and their method book, Team Plav: The Art of Making Chamber Music Together,
