jlhoots Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Didn't Anthony Braxton "threaten" at one time to create a composition for 100 tubas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russes01 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Marcus Rojas also nicely featured with Lester Bowie and Dave Douglas' brass bands. A direct link to a direct influence for Douglas I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Dick Cary also arranged some really interesting neither-trad-nor-modern charts for a colorful (tuba and vibes!) Bobby Hackett group in the late 50's... I believe their lone studio recording is the Capitol GOTHAM JAZZ SCENE, but there are also some airshots that were made available on a Viper's Nest release back in the 90s'... OFF MINOR. John Dengler handles the tuba duties, and Ernie Caceres is featured on clarinet and baritone sax. Worth tracking down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Didn't Anthony Braxton "threaten" at one time to create a composition for 100 tubas?? Composition no. 19, performed outdoors at the World Financial Center in NYC, 2006. Video on YouTube and downloadable recording available via New Braxton House Records.

PHILLYQ Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) A favorite I saw them in concert once as openers for Brass Fantasy, a bunch of tubas and a drummer. Very good stuff. Edited March 15, 2013 by PHILLYQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Quinn Wilson! Been listening to him on YouTube as part of Tiny Parham's groups. What clarity—especially for recordings from the 20's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 The tuba thread is missing Tuba Skinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Mildly off-topic, but it is interesting that Bill Barber, who played tuba on the Miles/Gil Evans albums, didn't really have many other jazz credentials. He played in theatre pits and ended up teaching music in elementary schools. Interesting that someone would play on jazz albums with that level of notoriety and not do much more than that within jazz. Then again, there is not much demand for the tuba.

medjuck Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Some of the early Ellington recordings have a tuba rather than a bass and are rather small groups. E.g. the first East St. Louis Toodle-O and Birmingham Breakdown from Nov. 1926. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
