I grew up in southern California long ago, and had opportunities to hear symphony and film studio musicians working there. For many decades, the Los Angeles/ Hollywood area has had fantastic musicians. The tradition lives on, as exhibited in this YouTube video.

It's Jim Self's antiphonal double quintet played by the LA Chamber Brass and the Crown City Brass Quintets. June 9, 2008 in Pasadena, CA. Daniel Rosenboom, Lee Thornburg, Brad Warnaar, Alex Iles and Jim Self play the "A" parts, Rob Frear, Marty Fenton Frear, Ben Jaber, Andy Malloy and Norm Pearson play "B."
