A little dance between the chairs
The masters of Mnozil Brass have known for ages that the waltz-drunk »Duidu, Duidu« and its relaxed counterpart »Dudidubidu« are really only a stone's throw away from each other. For more than thirty years now, these seven talented musicians have been moving back and forth between Johann Strauss and Frank Sinatra with the greatest of ease and their sparkling brass instruments. They care as little for the solemn grandeur of the one as they do for the supposed banality of the other. But Strauss - whom Brahms, Wagner and Verdi as well as the craftsmen and girls from the suburbs (and even a Gershwin) adored - was the forefather of nonchalant dalliance between the stools. He was the first to subvert the division between serious and popular music and became a mass phenomenon as the Waltz King - the tills never rang sweeter. In Strau$$, Mnozil Brass really reveal everything about Strauss, including the last thing. In the end, there is nothing left but the naked truth.
