Foden's Band conducted by Michael Fowles
John Barber is one of the most versatile musicians working at the 'sharp' end of the British brass band scene, as a performing artist and educator. The range of music on this album demonstrates his range; from the symphonic scope of three trombone concertos to the gentle, jazzy lyricism of his own very personal piano miniatures.

The Black Dyke Band - Music Director Pro. Nicholas J. Childs
Featuring the music of Peter Graham, this album, in many respects, is a retrospective, coming as it does in the year he decided to leave academia after 23 years and dedicate himself to full-time composition.
The album celebrates but one aspect of Peter Graham's compositional life; test pieces and related works that are of a decidedly descriptive nature, pieces that share certain musical traits and may even be heard as a unified set.

| 02 | A Time for Peace | Peter Graham | Zoe Hancock (Flugel Horn) with Black Dyke Band | 4.03 |
