Our Take

Empire Brass has boldly taken on the challenge of bringing Broadway hits to life through the power of brass instrumentation. The result? A mixed bag of show tunes that will have you tapping your feet one minute and scratching your head the next.

The opening track, a rendition of "The Phantom of the Opera Overture," starts off with promising energy, but ultimately falls short in capturing the haunting allure of the original. It's like watching a high school production of a Broadway classic - earnest, but lacking in depth.

The album picks up with a lively take on "Defying Gravity" from Wicked, showcasing the versatility and skill of the Empire Brass. The soaring trumpet melodies and pulsating rhythms will have you feeling like you're right in the heart of the Emerald City.

However, things take a turn for the bizarre with a rendition of "Memory" from Cats that can only be described as...well, a cat-astrophe. The brass instrumentation struggles to capture the emotional depth of the original, leaving listeners feeling more puzzled than moved.

Overall, Empire Brass On Broadway is a valiant effort to bring the world of musical theatre to a new audience. While some tracks hit the mark, others fall flat. So grab your jazz hands and give it a listen, but be prepared for a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows.
