check_circleVerifiedBruno is fantastic to work with. Great communicator, delivered exactly what was requested for the track including putting his own touch on the arrangement. I will definitely be hiring Bruno again whenever I need brass. The performance was authentic, and the recordings are sitting very nicely in the mix.
