This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion begins with music you might hear at Woodstock der Blasmusik. Woodstock der Blasmusik is coming up in Ort im Innkreis, Austria, beginning on June 27 and continuing for 3 more days. “Blasmusik” is the German word for “wind music.” This festival features wind music of many different genres—from traditional German polka music to Austrian and Czech versions of rock and roll performed with traditional polka-band instruments. Woodstock Music of Austria has recently helped me to acquire the recordings from the first and third years of the festival.
