Chris Olka will be playing the new Jones' concerto with the Seattle Symphony again on Thursday, May 18th. If you haven't heard it yet, I strongly encourage you to go. Here is the info: http://www.seattlesymphony.org/symphony ... ateid=3317

There hasn't been a recording released yet. The concerto was only premiered in January.

Here is a link to Samuel Jones' web site with more information on the concerto's premiere: http://www.samueljones.net/

WFMT in Chicago just broadcast the Seattle Symphony concert in which Chris Olka played the Samuel Jones Concerto.

It's a very audience-accessible piece, albeit with complex metric patterns.

Other tubists will undoubtedly take a stab at this fine piece.
