Boston, USA - Brave Combo has a new album out on Rounder Records. Brave Combo applies its über-groove sensibility to themes from the classical
repertory, reawakening our appreciation for these wonderful melodies which,
after all, were the great popular music of their time. With clever invention
and gleeful abandon, Brave Combo disarms the classical canon, creating music
that will bring joy to the heart of each listener.
