Manny Laureano has a spectacular aura about
Hey, Glenn...

Besides the way he writes for the winds with sixteenth note runs and the ascending horn lines, etc., he uses the old-fashioned wind machine! It's a barrel-shaped device except that its mostly a skeleton version with a sheet of canvas tightly draped over it. There's a crank that rotates said skeleton barrel under the canvas and it creates the whooshing sound you hear.

Cool, no?
