Product Description Compact Disc Review The Make Believe Brass make no attempt to hide the irreverent inclination of their genre and thus seek to provide entertainment for the whole family by spoofing the classics and inserting lots of oompah and raspberries into their arrangements. --The Whig-Standard Magazine, Jul. 1988Very well played, of course, and for fun, recommended. --Horn Call, 1988This is a brass quintet with a difference, that is, it substitutes cornets and a baritone for the usual trumpets and horn. The resultant ensemble sound is lighter, and greater speed and dexterity in performance are evident...So this is, in the end, a fun CD put together by people who enjoy horsing around and in the process showing off their fine musicianship. --Fanfare, Nov/Dec 1988

So happy to have found this
I found out about this when talking to someone online about Paul Chauvin, one of the members of this band and the arranger of a lot of their music. I grew up with Paul. I remember when the band played at Disneyland regularly with very fond memories. Unfortunately, my friend has died, but his great music lives on.

Love their music
Love their music. Always wanted more. Very talented musicians. They can play classical music to rock and roll and anything in between. Meet them when they played at Disneyland.

Wild, Wacky and Wonderful Brass quintet! Marvelous!
This is a replacement CD for me. I had let s fellow musician borrow my original copy after years of listening to it, and it did not find its way back to me. This wonderfully wacky group of incredible brass musicians are featured in a great selection of music. It is a very eclectic mix of classical and humorous arrangements. Most of the arrangements are by the outstanding tubist, Paul Chauvin. This album will not disappoint you. Highly Recommended.

This cd is GREAT :)
My parents really love music and they have passed this love down to me. Ever since I was a little kid, we have listened to tapes and cd's of classical and other music. This tape was one of the tapes I have grown up listening to. It is a wonderful cd with great music. The Make Believe Brass is a great brass ensemble and they make their music enjoyable to listen to. I recommend it for music lovers and people who simply enjoy music.
