Tania León’s website.

We also mark the passing, at age 94, of maverick composer Henry Brant on April 26 in Santa Barbara, CA., with a very early work from 1938, his portrait of the three Marx brothers, Hommage aux Freres Marx: Chico, Groucho, and Harpo. Henry is the tin fife soloist with the Boston Musica Viva on this out-of-print Newport Classics release ND85588 from 1994.

Read the NY Times obit by Allen Kozinn, and Kyle Gann’s comments.
