To Whom It May Concern,

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter on behalf of the Spectrum Brass Quintet. This is an exciting group of gifted musicians who bring a fresh approach to their work. Having performed with them I can see a bright future for them indeed.

I was introduced to Spectrum Brass when I engaged composer/arranger James Stephenson to create a new pops show for the Bozeman Symphony. I asked for a show featuring brass quintet, that would focus on Latin music, and I asked for his recommendations on a quintet. James wrote a magnificent show titled Salsa Metales, and suggested Spectrum Brass. Although I was hesitant at first to hire a group that was relatively new to the business, I trusted my friend James Stephenson and went ahead with the project. I’m glad I did because this quintet proved to be wonderful and the performance was a great success.

Working with Spectrum Brass was easy thanks to the wonderful leadership of Jacob Cameron. Jacob was always accessible to me through the process and was very easy to work with. He was amenable to suggestion and made sure that the quintet was not only wonderful musically, but accommodating to the needs of the Bozeman Symphony.

I can recommend Spectrum brass without hesitation!

Sincerely,

-Matthew Savery
