Chicago Brass Band Players, a 10-piece ensemble comprised of selected players from the Chicago Brass Band, was formed in the tradition of the English innovation fostered by legendary trumpeter Philip Jones, who desired to create a group that could perform works for both large and small brass ensembles on the same program. Many of the arrangements that CBB Players perform were created for Philip Jones’ organization.
The personnel of CBB Players consists of:
Guy Clark, Jay Cohen, Laura-Shea-Clark, Norm Chiordas, trumpets; Bob Reifsnyder, Marc Donatelle, Roger Menning, Dave Peterson, trombones; Charlie Payette, horn; and Steve Marcus, tuba.
The next CBB Players performance is this Sunday, November 10th at 3pm, at McHenry County College Conference Center (Building B), 8900 U.S Highway 14, Crystal Lake, Illinois.
