bloke That one is good. People of good will, of course, may differ on preferences. Mine tend towards Bill Evans, Paul Desmond, Lester Young, etc. rather than the "Blue Note" style or the "14 minutes of musical onanism" school I can appreciate most all styles but gravitate to som...

Dissenting opinion: MEH.

Here's Tony Bennett and Bill Evans on a Canadian TV special. 28 minutes of bliss. IMHO Bill Evans was the most amazing musician. In deference to Bennett, Evans sticks pretty closely to the melody in his interludes. Evans had a way of reharmonizing standards that was profound yet subtle. Here he know...

(Hoping to hear the new trombone player joke in return!)

How can you identify the trombonist's kids at the park?

They don't know how to use the slide and they can't swing.

*1969 New Jersey All-State Band conducted by Frederick Fennell-principal tuba. *Several solo turns with the Indiana Wind Symphony on euphonium. *Soloist with Otterbein College--Hidas Euphonium Concerto--on tour to Texas & New Orleans & points inbetween. *Soloist with University of Indianapol...

I understand Q as the result of damping of the range of a resonator--which seems to be what the weights do. Both transmitting antennas and tubas are resonating devices I don't know anything about the transmitting antenna, but for the tuba, I think it's important to consider what part of the tuba re...

Rick Denney Does the added mass change the actual resonant frequency of an instrument, or does it just change the Q of an already resonant body/circuit? Increased Q might explain why some players feel better "slotting" with the extra weight. I understand Q as the result of damping of the ...

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: (I'm on PC; MAC should be similar) 1. If you are using VST (AU) instruments such as Garritan, make sure that your sample rates match at 44100. MIDI/AUDIO==>Audio setup==>Audio output==>Sample Rate as well as in your sample player. Discrepancy between 44100 and 48000 will cause pi...

Walter Sear - who sold Cerveny tubas, composed, and also made "movies" 🤐 - some of his engraving featured multiple below-the-staff ledger lines that were jammed so close together that they appeared to be additional staff lines, and would soon confuse the eyes and brain. I pulled patch cor...

I saw them sitting at a table playing cards after a gig.

@Bloke you may pull that particular digit, but no others, please. When I address the audience, it is to engage them and show appreciation for their attendance, and to give them some background info. I also believe that some brief respites between pieces are advisable. While I may give some backgroun...

A few years ago, I was gonna give a recital at my kolij--Quintet (in which I play horn parts on euphonium), Tuba-Euph quartet, and euph/piano pieces. At the first rehearsal with the piano professor at the kolij, her first question was "You're not gonna do that thing where you talk to the audien...
