Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Canadian Jazz Trombonist Craig Brenan .. We caught up with him to talk about his 2024 CD Valley of Silence with his brother known as The Brenan Brothers. So, the ten-year-old twin brothers Jim and Craig, were standing nervously in the doorway of the Palms Cafe in Edmonton on a warm summer night in 1979. Their dad has taken them to their first concert featuring the instruments that they’re hoping to play when they enter junior high in the fall. The band was trumpet legend Woody Shaw’s quintet and they have gone on to perform with the likes of Maynard Ferguson, Randy Brecker, Slide Hampton and many more. They have established an iron-clad reputation as a pair of dynamic and accomplished musicians, always seeking new musical challenges that push them to their creative limits. We get into it all.
