The Westerlies: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

our last bastion of sanity, Tiny desk comcerts

awesome to see a brass band that can go soft and quiet!!!

also awesome to see old gino and his bike mentioned as an inspiration, he’s in rue des rosiers all year long you'll see him when you all migrate to europe lol

Awesome dialogue among such hard to master instruments. You guys really listen to each other to create a unique sound web.

Such an inspiration

Amazing songwriting!

Link Neal surely can play trumpet!

Beautiful!

Cool beans

These guys need to hang out in new orleans for a while, then come back and try again.

It's amazing what two trombones and only two trumpets can do in the world of brass musicianship! I am wonderfully surprised and enjoyed it very much. Thanks guys! Btw, my Southern CA daughter has been a transplant in Seattle for the last three years.

que coisa mais linda

Wow! How could I listen without smiling! Wow! Awesome tight brass! Thank you!

Brilliant! Should be called the Four Gershwins.

Wonderful performance. These guys are spot on and you can tell they are all very different people based off their compositions. Really enjoyed Rue Des Rosiers, pretty sweet syncopation between instruments, and implemented well. FAN!!

just perfect

After extensively listening to this band on spotify I went and bought their album off itunes!

I HAVE INVADED YOUR LAST BASTION OF SANITY YOU TED CRUZ LOVING PRICKS. I AM THE WORSTNIGHTMAREFORTEDCRUZBECAUSE IKNOWGEORGEWBUSHDID9/11

Cool stuff, as long as you don't watch!

are you fuckin serious?

wanted to like this but the second trumpet sounds like he has no formal training, it's kind of painful. Also why not get a french horn and be a brass quintet?

That second song is super chill.

Had the pleasure of talking to Andy during my time at Cornish, this was an awesome set.

If bad form pisses you off, avoid this at all costs.

They came to my school in Seattle today and it was amazing :D

redefining brass quartet

Collectively, I wonder how much saliva is in their reeds after performing.

It’s crazy that they preformed for my school

Amazing! I remembered of Arrigo Barnabé, our big brazilian vanguardist! Ty!!

Part 2 please 💗

This was inspiring, thank you! Keep blowing those innovative winds - any direction, please.

Fairbairn Films brought me here.

Highly underrated.

As a failed trombonist, I stand in awe.

NO!!! (As opposed to YES!!!)

This is so cool. I got to meet Riley a few years ago, top class gentleman right there.

Ahhhh ! Harmonies in the midst of Run On Down really tickled my insides.

I’m short of breath just listening to this. Loved it

The have a transvestite trumpet player now
