Hey everyone!

Here are a few youtube links to a new piece for solo tuba by James Meador called Six Pack for Solo Tuba being performed by Tim Buzbee, principal tuba of Iceland Symphony. This is some of the most incredible tuba playing I've ever heard...Tim's low register is just unbelievable (check out Mvt. IV called 'Angry'). Mvt. II, 'Discoteque' is pretty awesome too.

Reciprocity is a duet commissioned by Tim and Jessica Buzbee, who plays asst. principal trombone in Iceland Symphony and is a member of Christian Lindberg's Trombone Unit 2000. She plays high, he plays low, and they sound amazing together!

Both of these pieces are available at Warwick Music in UK at www.warwickmusic.com.

Here are the links:

These videos were recorded on a US tour at UT Arlington. Check them out!

Almost forgot to mention that both of these pieces have been recorded by Tim on his debut solo CD. That will come out this summer shortly before the tuba conference in Cincinnati. He will also be performing both pieces at the tuba conference.

He has also recorded Three Furies by James Grant, Stuff also by James Grant, Suite for 4 horns and tuba by Chister Danielson, and something else I don't recall. It sounds amazing!

Wow. What a tremendous player Tim is. I've just been exchanging some communications with him and he seems like a stand-up guy.

If you're reading this, Hi Tim. I'm looking into all the logistics and will be in touch with you soon.

You, Tim and his wife came to our school (TJC) a few weeks ago and performed. Thanks for that we we really enjoyed it.

holy damn thats power

Very very very sweet stuff! The Buzbees are phenomal players and I love the compositions. I'm definitely checking these out.

Wow! I saw them at UTA not too long ago. They were very impressive to say the least.

I know this is the prototypical thing to ask on tubenet,but,is that a MW2182? What power! What a monster low register! I want me summa dat!

The only thing that Can outmatch Mr. and Mrs. Buzbee's Amazing playing abilities Is the fact that they are some of the kindest, and most down to earth people I have met.

Thanks again for posting the videos!!!

Very nice! The Iceland Symphony's low brass videos on YouTube are awesome, too. It makes me wonder when the symphony is going to start putting out some CDs...

It looks like a MW 2182 (F).
