Formed in 2010 to record and perform Crosland's new set of compositions, An Open Place, commissioned for the 20th Marsden Jazz Festival and inspired by sculptures at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Crosland's Brass Group has grown out of Threeway, Crosland's trio which explores the possibilities of a group without drums. This stellar sextet retains the same intimacy and subtlety whilst the larger instrumentation provides Crosland with a broader compositional palette to develop the colours and textures of his pieces with rich voicings and imaginative ensemble writing. The improvisational skill and creativity of these great soloists are a given.
