“Northern Soundings is a fine recording of both solo and ensemble music for trombone by Canadian composers. Trombonist Brad Howland, who serves as the soloist, quartet leader and producer, has gathered an assortment of compositions along with a refined group of musicians to present a quality recording. The CD cover design is crisp and clean and the selection order is presented like a well planned recital...he represents these works by Canadian composers with admirable musicianship.”

Pacific Trombone Quartet: Bedlam in Bethlehem
Christmas with the Pacific Trombone Quartet
With Brad Howland, Don McDougall, Bob Fraser and Kevin Thompson on trombone, and guest artists Ian McDougall on trombone and Annabelle Vitek on harp
“An ensemble that plays with a palpable joy, solid tone and intonation and fine style...The program overall is an excellent representation of Christmas music for trombones, containing a pleasant mix of sacred and secular tunes. It is particularly nice to hear the Tommy Pederson Christmas quintet arrangements put down on disc. They are a staple of any trombonists' holiday repertoire, being fun to play and hear...From beginning to end this CD is a joy to listen to, and must have been a joy to record with such fine musicians.”
