Howdy.
This is a group that's been performing occasionally for the past few years. Back in August, the organ player reached out to me and asked if I'd like to do an album. He runs an organization called the Little Village Foundation which generally tries to help out underrepresented artists or those who lie a bit too far out of the mainstream. The angle for this recording is a little different. The foundation paid all the costs to produce the album and any proceeds from sales/streaming will be donated to the Boys and Girls Club of Silicon Valley.
The New Orleans Nightcrawlers are the band that inspired me to get into this kind of playing, as you can probably tell from the repertoire and our instrumentation. But I certainly don't claim to be anywhere near the tuba player that Matt Perrine is!
Anyway, I hope you guys like it.

And here's the first track via YT:
And since this is Tuba Forum, some information that nobody else would care about: I played this session on my 1921 Martin Helicon
