New Jazz Tuba CD
Posted: Thu Dec 16, 2004 9:33 pm
Hello,
I want to let you all know about a jazz tuba CD that I just released called "Life Is Good." You can read about it and listen to two of the tracks at www.pkorecords.com.
My brother Jon plays Hammond B-3 organ on the album, and there is also guitar (Tim Cummiskey) and drums (Dave Weinstock). I play tuba as the lead instrument. Many of the tunes are originals, and there are also some standards such as "Mood Indigo" by Ellington and "Wave" by Jobim, as well as my jazz arrangement of the Gigue from Bach's 5th Cello Suite. The music is mostly straight-ahead jazz; there is also some boogie-woogie and down-home blues (I play piano on these two tracks).
If you've never heard jazz tuba with jazz organ before, it's a great combination!
CDs can be purchased from www.pkorecords.com or directly from me (send a check for $17 to: Kent Eshelman, 7510 Maxtown Rd., Westerville, OH 43082)
Thanks!

As always, really tasty playing. Kid Boogie and Team Eshelman do it again.
