“Struttin’ with the Stiletto Brass,” a recital-style concert, will feature several selections in the “struttin’” theme, including original compositions for brass quintet such as Jens Lindemann’s “When a Body Meets a Body” about dodging taxi cabs in London, “Central Park in the Morning” by David Chesky, and “Struttin’ with Some BBQ” by composer Kenneth Abeling. Other selections include a fantasy variation arrangement on George Gershwin’s “Summertime” that the Stiletto Brass first performed with Doc Severinsen. Recent Sarasota transplant and retired trumpet teacher at the University of Kentucky, Vincent DiMartino, will be joining them for this and another Gershwin favorite, “Someone to Watch Over Me.”
