Rob McConnell assembled the original Boss Brass from Toronto’s finest studio musicians. The instrumentation of the The Boss Brass was originally sixteen pieces, consisting of trumpets, trombones, french horns and a rhythm section, but no saxophones (woodwinds). McConnell introduced a sax section in 1970, and expanded the trumpet section to include a fifth trumpet player in 1976, bringing the total to 22 members.
Rob McConnell & the Boss Brass made a second album for the direct-to-disc Umbrella label, a two-LP set that features the band at the top of its game. Aside from Ian McDougall's Pellet Suite, all of the arrangements are by the leader. The ballads are especially noteworthy, particularly the subdued, lush setting of "I Hear a Rhapsody" and "My Ship. They have plenty of bop chops as well, featuring trumpeter Sam Noto and alto saxophonist Moe Kaufman in "Confirmation.
