Harvey Phillips inventing TubaChristmas was pretty epic.
Whoever thought to add a left-hand thumb-operated rotary valve was pretty smart, too

All of these changed tuba playing. But Pilafian's Travlin' Light broke out of that--it was the first tuba recording I could play for non-tuba-playing friends that would not attract funny looks.Tom Eshelman wrote:"Bill Bell Plays the Tuba" (album)

Re: Just for discussion:
That was my thought too. It was the first tuba feature cd you could find being sold in book stores & general merchandise stores - even places like Kmart. I routinely hear it being played during the XMAS holiday season over the loudspeakers in department stores and grocery stores. Tuba playing being used to induce people to buy more pot roasts!Rick Denney wrote:

Re: Just for discussion:
Torchy Jones Brass Ensemble: "Catch the Brass Ring" forecasting the popularity of the modern brass quintet/ensemble. Abe Torchinsky's playing broke a few boundaries. They all were symphony players with great sounds and they did not tone down to a miniature chamber music sound.That was probably the pioneer brass ensemble project.
Of course I am biased, Abe was my teacher.
