Gary Slechta, trumpeter, arranger, and all around good guy, offers some GREAT arrangements for brass quintet. Very tasty and extremely creative in his approach to arranging. Hill Country Brass has played lots of his tunes. So much so, in fact, that we have a binder solely dedicated to Gary's arrangements. Check out his tuba feature: Sailor's Hornpipe, a fun showy piece for BQ in
theme and variations form. Think Popeye!
