Description

Brass refers to music prominently featuring brass instruments like trumpets, trombones, and tubas, creating bold, warm, and resonant tones. This sound spans diverse traditions from New Orleans second line bands to Latin ensembles and jazz quartets, often evoking celebration and communal energy. The metallic shimmer and powerful projection of brass instruments add drama, brightness, and emotional depth to any musical arrangement.
