Since I'm putting this under the Tijuana Brass thread, the results may be skewed. I'm curious as to who else has an appreciation for the Baja Marimba crew. I was introduced to the Brass many years ago, and have always been a fan. I was only introduced to the BMB 3 or 4 years ago.
After many hours of listening, I think I prefer the Baja Marimba Band(I know, it's heresy). I find the marimba much more listenable for longer periods of time than the trumpet. I will admit, the Lost Treasures cd was a pleasant surprise. I often find that my favorite TB songs feature a prominent marimba. I truly hope that someone releases the BMB material. I haven't bought any of their albums, but I think I'll try to pick them up on ebay.
