The championship piece (Wilby's 'Jazz')is a cracker as far as I'm
concerned - it might not be to every brass band listener's taste though.
The 4th section piece (Henry Geehl's 'Sinfonietta Pastorale') is dire -
dull as ditchwater; a piece with little but tunes in - not too bad a
premise, but the tunes are very boring; a real nothing piece, with
nothing to test individual techniques either. What was it used for
originally?
