[PRCo] Brass band

[DF Cramer]

Yes, that is Mnozil. I saw them live in Indiana last Friday evening---they are a show not to be missed. An interesting little item in their program notes:
"All seven members of the band studied at the University of Music in Vienna, graduating as well-rounded musicians who, in the meantime, have found their places too as teachers in professional musical life. But they never lost their nerve and remain flippant enough to create from their virtuosic playing and unique kind of comedy the kind of scenes on stage which are so clever that they would be worthy of Monty Python. 
Despite or maybe because of their academic backgrounds, it is important and, we add, perhaps necessary to have fun. Musical cabaret and comedy are rare birds indeed. And Mnozil Brass assumes they will be playing for an intelligent audience, one able to imagine what they are getting at. Enlightenment is their watchword, and this is paired with a kind of laid back perfection. This is what the septet is known for, and loved for. Not only in the city centre of Vienna." 
I have had the pleasure of seeing them live and also 2 years ago in a master class. They did the number shown in this video on Friday evening.http://www.mnozilbrass.at/en/
