The brass quintet Cinque Ottoni comprises trumpeters Margaret Romero and Charlie Anderson, hornist Jeff Stewart, and trombonists Mike Rosen and Andy Knight. Their program includes:
Herman Stein’s “Mock March,” reminiscent of a Rocky and Bullwinkle sound track;
Scott Joplin’s “Bethena,” which is not a rag but a gentle waltz;
Eric Ewazen’s “Balkanika Suite,” a suite on eastern european themes written for a Croatian brass quintet;
Neil Hefti’s classic “Li’l Darlin’,” made famous by the Count Basie big band; and
Jack Gale’s spectacular arrangement of Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story.”
Free and open to all.
