I'm in total agreement with Wonton, Fletcher has the most attractive sound that I could only wish to aspire to. His performance is really good.

He plays it with the Besses o' the Barn Band.

I am interested in the Floyd Cooley recording? Is that a common recording (easy to get)?

You can tell who is playing on a bass and who is playing on a contrabass, too.

My favorite part is the accompaniment.
This recording is on "The Trumpet of the Angels - Edward Gregson Music for Brass Vol 4 "- the soloist is Joe Cook a brilliant bloke and a fantastic player

It is on Gourley plays tuba ( with the 1994 new cadenza ) , also the John Fletcher tribute disk ( the best of fletch ) , I think Andy Duncan ( former Halle Orchestra , Manchester ) has recorded it with the Stocksbridge Engineering Band ( around 1994) on a CD called Heritage.

I know it's slightly off topic but has anyone heard "East meets West" James Gourley Solo CD vol2 - some fantastic sounds and arguably the best interpretation of the Vaughn Williams Concerto for Tuba ( accomp by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band in a transcription by Philip Littlemore)
