trombonist, tubaist, arranger, composer, educator EARL McINTYRE is above all a family man. although we know each other longer than do his children, i am proud to be family; my wife, vocalist, percussionist Fran McIntyre, is Earl’s cousin. Earl teaches at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music in Park Slope, Brooklyn. it was there that he premiered his initial CD foray as leader.
the CD, entitled BRASS CARNIVAL & TRIBUTE!, features a brass band consisting of tubas, trombones, trumpets, french horns and rhythm, also separates a small ensemble, TRIBUTE!, which plays original material by McIntyre in dedication to his multifarious musical and extended families. McIntyre’s father, mother, uncles and aunts, Salvation Army Band Veterans all, played a variety of brass. his wife, vocalist, educator Renée Manning, demonstrates her own brand of brassiness, the blues.
