Arnold Jacobs. Not only a tremendous player (44 years with the Chicago Symphony) but one of the foremost wind pedagogues who has ever lived. Without wanting to stir up debate, I would argue that Mr. Jacobs did as much, and probably more, for our discipline than any other.

And, there's a book about him, so that would make your research a lot easier!

What is the third book? I have the other two which are fantastic. AJ would be a terrific choice.

Roger Bobo would be a great choice too. Especially with all the personal essays he has written over the years that can be found online.

And if you are into jazz, look into Red Calender. Mostly known for his bass playing, he was also a dedicated jazz tubist.

dammit! Ya' know, I ACTUALLY was going to suggest him, but I didn't think anyone would remember a 1960's bit in a magazine, nor think it was particularly funny (as you and I obviously do) if they did.

Heck, I thought it was just a symptom that I've got too much useless trash stuffed between my ears.

Did that assistant of his (the one with the briefcase full of mouthpieces) have a name?

Sir, I am insulted that you would think our fine web-community (myself included) would forget the upstanding musical accomplishments (not to mention the humanitarian side of them) of Eric von Schteric!

As I recall, he had three assistants who were given the grim duty of holding the tuba whenever Eric was called upon to dislodge Fester Bestertester or any other poor slob who became trapped inside a tuba.
