Details:
Trumpeter Wayne Bergeron presents his first holiday offering, âMusic & Mistletoeâ. Much like Wayneâs previous CDs, âYou Call This a Livingâ and âPlays Well With Othersâ, the members of the After Hours Brass are hand picked amongst the top studio musicians in the Los Angeles area.

The After Hours Brass:

Wayne Bergeron-Trumpet & Flugelhorn
Deb Wagner-Trumpet, Flugelhorn & Vocals
Brad Warnaar-French Horn
Andy Martin-Trombone
Alan Kaplan-Tuba

The After Hours Rhythm:

John Friday-Drums
Ray Brinker-Drums & Hand Percussion
Trey Henry-Bass
Ken Wild-Bass

Wayne chose to use the standard brass quintet instrumentation for this endeavor. What makes it unique from other groups using this format is the use of a jazz rhythm section. This gives the group versatility covering a wide array of styles including big band swing, bossa, latin, funk and classical. The addition of 2 vocal offerings from vocalist Tierney Sutton is the icing on the holiday fruitcake. Deb Wagnerâs sassy, tongue in cheek style makes Santa Baby very enjoyable and lots of fun.


Wayne is now enjoying a career as one of the most active players on the LA scene from studio calls to theater work, in addition to performing with major orchestras, jazz gigs and clinics.
