 The Blast Blast ...
Submitted on: 2009-03-05 |

| I purchased this thinking I had bought the dvd. A little disappointed until I played it. AMAZING ... interestingly it plays exactly long enough for my commute to work. After I listened for a few days I went back and bought the dvd. Icing on the cake. To see it as well as hear it adds another dimension to the enjoyment. |

| I played trombone in front row of my high school marching band. I love the upbeat rendition of Krepke. I play it often to raise my spirits. |

You don't really have to understand or appreciate marching band to hughely appreciate the dynamics and showmanship of BLAST! It was revolutionary to bring this type of show to the stage in London, New York and in many touring shows at many venues. To have this music available on CD to listen at any time is truly a rousing joy.
Don't miss out........get your copy and enjoy a group of extremely talented musicians show their stuff. |

A musiclal treat worth listening to!

| This is one of the most refreshing musical compilations in a long time. Unfortunately, it's difficult to get the full flavor of "Blast!" unless you've seen the actual performance. With that being said, I was thouroughly impressed with musical vituosity of this relatively young cast. Anyone not emotionally moved by the gut-felt trumpet lines in "Loss" certainly can't be a true lover of music. As a one time trumpet player, the warmth and depth of this performance made me absolutely envyous! Take this and mix it with the heart-pounding percussion, and the interspersed chorale-style vocals, and you have a very entertaining auditory treat. |

 Missing the whole experience

After seeing this show live, this CD just barely misses making both exciting. There are a couple numbers (Battery Battle) not included that would go a long way into making this disc into a true Blast!
Bad part done, now for the good parts. The musicianship shown in these selections are astounding. Ben Harloff's solo in "Lost" brings me to tears anytime I hear it. The audacity to have fun being displayed by these semi-professional artists during "Officer Krupke" is a hoot! (Just be sure to catch all the little fun riffs a la The Simpsons theme.) The playfulness in "Land of Make Believe" sends you back to your childhood of many a care-free day.
You miss some of the visuals from the show. I recommend the DVD to get some of the things you do miss. And if you ever get the chance, see it live! |
