So I heard this brass quintet several years ago here in New Orleans. I was before Katrina came to visit so I wanna say fall 04 of spring 05. They had probably 40+ vintage horns with them. They used all the horns in the performance too. They would give a brief description of each horn and then play a piece that was peroid correct for the instruments. Great performance, and excellent musicians. I thought I had an old program but now I can't seem to find it. So....who were they? Someone help me out!

It's probably Chestnut Brass you're thinking about.

That's them! Thanks so much. I've been racking my brain for months now. It was a great show and now I can start to track down some recordings. Thanks again.
