If you like music from that era ...
Take a look at this one too. You will see a Tubenet familiar name on tuba and bass (mostly bass).

On the cover photo, you get to see what the guy looked like about 20 years ago dressed in a suit and tie looking downright respectable.

I thought I saw in the ITEA journal that you realesed a second album too? I didn't see it on that website.

Well, I've only made one jazz tuba CD. However, I did record a solo piano CD a few years ago of boogie-woogie and ragtime music. That's called "In The Pocket" and is available only directly from me.

Thanks for your interest!

Howard Johnson and Gravity - "Gravity!"
Howard Johnson and Gravity - "Right Now"
Brad Felt - "Exordium"

A great source for jazz tuba recordings is Tap Music (tapmusic.com). Many titles to chose from, including (insert shameless plug) my own entitled, "Brazzzology, Pick Yourself Up". Incidently, if you are in the Dallas/Fort Worth/North Texas area Brazzology will be playing at TCU in Fort Worth on November 20 at 7:30 PM in PepsiCo Recital Hall. It should be a great night. As always my good friend, trumpet player/co-leader Larry Spencer will be with me, plus a great rhythm section of Kyp Green, bass, Joey Carter, drums and Julie Bonk, piano. Julie is a great pianist and was teacher/mentor for many years to Nora Jones. Don't miss it!
