Fantasy by Earth, Wind & Fire Featuring Reggie Pace
Hello everyone! You may have noticed I’ve been a little absent here on my blog. The reason is… I just moved to a new city! I now live in Bremerton, Washington, just outside Seattle. I am super excited to explore this area of the country and meet and play with the local musicians!
I am so pleased to share this next video, this is one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on in a while! We recorded Fantasy by Earth, Wind & Fire. Shawn W. Davern made an incredible arrangement of this tune. The instrumentation includes 2 solo trombone parts, a trombone choir of 8 trombones (or in our case, 7 trombones and a tuba), piano, bass and drums. To learn more about Shawn and hear his arrangements and original music please visit his website below.
You may have noticed there is a VERY special guest in this video! Reggie Pace from No BS! Brass Band. We were so excited to have Reggie play the solo part on this tune, he SLAYED it! Check out his last note at the end, you’ll love it! The first time I heard it, I was so excited I almost threw my computer, haha. To keep up to date on Reggie’s projects you can follow him on Instagram @reggiepace and Twitter @ReggiePace . While you’re at it check out the No BS! Brass Band website and listen to some awesome, high energy brass music!
Rounding out this talented ensemble of musicians is Kai Smith on tuba, Kaylie Brooke on drums and Abe Song playing both the piano and bass parts on keyboard. I know both Kaylie and Kai from touring with the show Blast The Music of Disney. It’s always fun to work with fellow Blasters on these virtual collab projects!
Please enjoy our trombone version of Fantasy!
