Musical performance on brass instruments has expanded in the 20th century because of technical improvements in horn-making, an increased literature and a number of outstanding players, such as Louis Armstrong, Tommy Dorsey and Doc Severinsen, as well as classical musicians such as Maurice Andre, Christian Lindberg and Barry Tuckwell. This book analyses and celebrates nearly 100 brass soloists who have performed and been recorded widely, and whose genius, technique and style have been widely recognised.
