About Us

It was the year 1998. A new group was formed in an effort to bring back an old familiar sound. A sound resembling groups like Chicago, Tower of Power, Earth Wind and Fire, Blood Sweat and Tears, Michael Buble, Steely Dan and the like…

A group comprised of some of South Florida’s finest musicians, all of whom shared a passion for quality music, in an industry over inundated with everything but quality (ie; schmaltz…)

A group set in place to accommodate any large or small – scale function with the right level of stylistic diversity required to cover any event need from start to finish with consistent professional reliability.

This way, when ever an event committee or individual client was in the process of considering what band would be the main ingredient of making their upcoing event the outstanding memorable occassion it deserved to be? the answer would be universally known as “The Brass Evolution ”…>>>

Now, many years later, with our quality reputation for what we set out to do well established, we, like every business across the country are facing some very challenging and uncertain economic times…

“The Brass Evolution” is in place with several group options ready to provide you with the absolute best live entertainment that South Florida has to offer.

We understand that there is more to making an event great than just being a great band…It takes event know how, the ability to Emcee and offer event guidance in a confident and professional manner, program flexibility, and an over all cooperative spirit that reflects the vision of the event’s host. Something we have been doing for over a decade with thousands of successful jobs to our credit.

History

As a kid growing up through the 60’s, with a Father who was a Professional Ballroom Dance instructor/performer, I had the amazing good fortune to be continuously exposed to people dancing to the great sounds of the”Big Band” era. Sinatra, Dean Martin, Glen Miler Ellington, Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Harry James Orchestra etc…

I can remember several evenings where I was with Dad at one of his private Dance Functions (doing the door man thing) where I would become tired, find my Mom’s table, crawl up underneath it, find a comfortable position and proceed to get mesmerized by the musicians on the band stand.

As a child I became an extremely attentive listener. Even though I learned all the ballroom dances and rhythms and such, I have undeniably taken more to the music…(sorry Dad…)

So time moves on and I can’t seem to shake this love for quality music performed live. I find myself being blessed with the ability to play and sing the music I love, and I love to surrond myself with quality people who do it for the same reason as I do…For the Love of it…

Since I started this musical journey as a Sax Player, exposed to great”Big Band” Era material from back” in the day” combined with my era “Rock and Roll” from the 60 to date…I naturally gravitate to groups like EWF, CHicago, BS&T, Steely Dan, Michael Buble, Dave Mathews etc…All whom utilize Horns…

So after relizing that whenever someone asked me how long I have been playing, my natural answer is to reply simply” not long enough”…after experiencing life as a musician in the USAF Band, and as somebody elses’s side player for the many years I have been playing, I found a lot that turned me off to my love of music…all related to styles of leadership that I found completely disrespectfull for the amount of time and energy I put into becoming a quality player…(Like the music industry itself isn’t disrespectful enough…)

And so, it is with a tremendous amount of experience as a musician with experience related to what gets people to listen, what makes people dance, and how to coordinate a large variety of events… that I have entered into this position as a Band Leader…a leader with a vision for fair based respectfilled treatment to all clients and musicians I have the opportunity to work with, Keeping as many quality people who happen to be great worthy musicians working as much as possible, Horn Based material as my predominant 1st love and preferred style of music, continual steps in the direction of progress, finding the material that deserves to be redone with great respectfull representation…and the realization that it’s more about the music and those appreciating what we do, either as a player or a listener of the music, than it is about me….

And so “The Brass Evolution” expresses in it’s name all that we have to look forward to…
