Is anyone aware of an arrangement (or sort of arrangement) that would feature 3 tubas in a trad. jazz setting? It would have to be accompanied by a trad. jazz group band. Even something that featured the 3 solo tubas alone could work and we could add chord changes for the band. I'm only aware of tuba/euphonium quartets. We're looking for 3 tubas only. Thanks!

Hi Bill,

Here's a trio that I did with a couple of other tubists and rhythm section several years ago at the SunCoast Festival:

Here's another:

Do you have any particular tunes in mind? I have a LOT of traditional jazz arrangements in my computer. I could easily copy and transpose the two trumpet parts and set them with the existing tuba parts. That would work pretty well.

Looking forward to the Long Island Tuba Day this Friday!

Hi Art!

We weren't looking for any particular tunes, just something 3 of us could do together with accomp. These should work nicely. Thanks for sending them along. Stay warm up there in the north country!

BTW Art! Are you and the boys playing the usual pre-concert music for the rescheduled Day of Tuba and Euphonium this Friday? It's going to feel really strange and surreal for me not to be there. I might go back for the next one in Nov.

Art,
We really enjoyed playing your Dixieland Trios.
We used a Baritone and two Tuba's. Have you got any more duet or trio arrangements available?
