Jazz Connection - Tuba Special 3/7/10

As you're hearing tonight's program, I will be playing tuba with the Big Brass Bed Quintet in Nate Engh's trombone recital. We're playing a Bach cantata called "How I Will Rejoice" (trans. English). Just thought I'd let you know...

Appropriately enough,
the Jazz Connextion this evening is a feature of the Tubists of Jazz. I will be chronicling their rise from Dixieland and New Orleans Brass styles via Chicago w/ Louis Armstrong, then throughout the Midwest and all of America with big bands and onward to Hollywood (for the movies) and other extravagant. Hope you enjoy this! Follow the links for tuba related nonsense. Also, spend some time on KWLC.
