I have been informed that the Chicago Symphony has placed a tribute to Arnold Jacobs in memory of the tenth anniversary of his passing. It contains his biography and also an audio clip with statements from John Hagstrom, Charlie Vernon and Gene Pokorny. The link is:
http://www.cso.org/main.taf?p=15,1,91#ajacobs" target="_blank" target="_blank
At the bottom of the page is the link to :Tribute to Arnold Jacobs." Another window will open and you must press the play icon on the left side of the window.
Thanks to Gene Pokorny who reminded the CSO of the anniversary. I have always said that he has done more to remember his predecessor than any other symphony player. He is a great "renter" of the CSO tuba position!

Re: CSO Jacobs Tribute
Thanks for posting this. I remain in awe.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
