Bass Meets Tuba - My colleagues and I were thrilled to record last week with legendary bassist Bob Bowman who recorded with Freddie Hubbard, Carmen McRae, Bud Shank, Karrin Allyson, Bobby Watson, Steve Houghton, John Stowell, Bob Sheppard, Steve Allee, the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra and the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabakin Big Band. Mr. Bowman also performed with trombonists Carl Fontana and Bill Watrous, as well as the Matteson-Phillips Tubajazz Consort.

Here we are in front of the 9-foot Steinway grand at Springfield’s Nick Sibley Music in southwest Missouri: bassist Bob Bowman, drummer Marty Morrison, pianist Kyle Aho, tubaist Ralph Hepola.

Tracks and videos will drop soon!
