Ruud Breuls feat. by WDR BIG BAND: Fireflies | PERSONAL SOUNDS

The WDR BIG BAND features Ruud Breuls on trumpet with the piece "Fireflies" by Bob Brookmeyer. The musical direction is by Lars Seniuk. Produced as part of the "Personal Sounds" series at WDR Studio 4 / Cologne in December 2018.
Ruud Breuls about the piece: "Fireflies" has been very important for me: when I played in "The New Art Orchestra" by Bob Brookmeyer, this was the solo piece that made me a permanent band member of the orchestra. And after that, I got to play it in every program after that. In the original version, this piece was written by Bob Brookmeyer for Till Brönner together with the WDR Big Band. I practiced the piece with Kris Goessens, who has unfortunately already passed away, during intermission, and Bob sat in and was always very positive in his feedback. For me, one of the most beautiful memories in my musical life so far!"
