In a prior post, I wrote about tangos and their appearance in the repertoire. A few nights ago I had the pleasure of seeing the Iowa Brass Quintet perform live. The performance was a joy to see, and there happened to be a latin style piece on their program. The piece was Killer Tango, a work that was written for the Canadian Brass by Sonny Kompanek and recorded on Canadian Brass Takes Flight. It is an enjoyable piece written in the tango style, I have provided a link to their performance of it for SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

Latin Brass 
Nice. Do you know anything about why this is called Killer Tango? Also, who are the performers?

Not positive why it is called Killer Tango other than that it is a tango. The performers are Chris Colettit and Brandon Ridenour on trumpet, Eric Reed on horn, Achilles Liarmakopoulos on trombone, and Chuck Daellenbach on tuba.
