Hi all,
Last May, we sat down and recorded "Whirlwind," a new piece by recent studio alum Kevin McKenzie. It's a fast and furious piece for tuba-euph quartet that I'm sure some of you would enjoy performing. The video was just recently finished and you can check it out on Youtube: https://youtu.be/eH63hT6qNj4" target="_blank
If you want to check out some other recordings, the University of Memphis "Bottom Line" released their second album "Axis" this past spring. It features some great arrangements for tuba-euphonium ensemble and another new composition, Axis, by Kevin McKenzie.
The album was a labor of love for everyone involved and showcases some incredibly talented students. We wanted to offer it for free to the TubeNet community. You can stream the tracks on the site or download the entire album for free (hard copies cost $10):

Great fun! Very impressive. Thanks! I particularly appreciate the Biebl "Ave Maria." That piece holds a special place in my heart and it is really neat to hear it performed by bottom-dwellers.
