The Canadian Brass bounds onstage in trademark tuxedos and tennis shoes, launching into a program that ranges from Bach and Wagner to Sousa and Ellington with lively dialogue and theatrical effects. Their performance at 8 p.m. March 24 at Hill Auditorium is in tribute to composer and arranger Luther Henderson, who scored the theatrical celebrations of the work of historic jazzmen Fats Waller and Jelly Roll Morton and enjoyed a 20-year relationship with the Canadian Brass, arranging more than 100 tunes for the group.
