Canadian Brass

Swing That Music has just completed its record breaking summer run with 14 straight weeks of radio airplay coast-to-coast in the United States, as well as in Canada and Australia. With 140 stations on board, the album has been hailed as “stunning – covers every facet of the man’s legendary career” and “stuffed full of stylish Dixieland jazz”.

Key airplay markets included Chicago, San Francisco, Wash DC, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Cleveland, St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Portland, Denver, New Orleans, Albuquerque, Orlando, Jacksonville, Memphis, Louisville and San Antonio.  The album also received strong airplay and acclaim from key internet music sites – including Radio IO, Jazz Without Borders, Dr. Music’s Weekly Checkup and Jazz From Gallery 41 among others.

The acclaimed album by Canadian Brass, released May 26^th, was a timely and much appreciated element of many week-long celebrations focusing on and observing Louis Armstrong’s Birthday on July 4^th. The campaigns and festivities were bolstered and enhanced by the free download offer of the track Carolina Shout, which enabled listeners to immediately explore just a small part of the Canadian Brass and their incredible tribute to the great Louis Armstrong.

Here are just a few of the outstanding comments and raves from our radio friends and writers. We thank them for their support.
