A brass band classic given the jazz treatment, will astound and amaze your audiences every time. Not to be missed.

Category: SOLOS - FLUGEL HORN Composer: Tom Davoren
Tom Davoren composed South Loop in 2015 following an annual visit to the city of Chicago, in the Midwest region of the United States of America. It takes its name from a section of the "L", the famous elevated railway which is the lifeblood of the city and its suburbs. The piece tries to capture some of the bustling energy of the Chicago landmark, and the 750,000 commuters who use it each day.
