Need I say more?

The Canadian Brass are a brass quintet founded by Charles Daellenbach, Stuart Laughton, and Gene Watts in 1970. In addition to maintaining a heavy international touring schedule, the Canadian Brass have recorded nearly seventy albums. They have commissioned, performed, and recorded hundreds of transcriptions and original works for brass quintet. Named the "world's leading brass ensemble" by The Washington Post and credited as "the men who put brass music on the map", they are best known for their ability to seamlessly cross between classical and jazz styles. The Canadian Brass are also known for their unique performance attire, consisting of black suits coupled with white athletic shoes. The Canadian Brass made its American debut at Washington's Kennedy Center in 1975.
