Classical with a jazz and commercial bent. Very creative tuba arrangements, with other sparse instrumentation that's creative enough to keep your attention, and livley enough to get you moving.
Bio / Background
Notes by Jim Self
The cover of this CD shows "Monica", my new 6/4 Yamaha CC Tuba (somewhat oversized), with me stretching to play it. It illustrates my feeling in tackling this recording project. It has been a "big stretch" to write and perform this music. The CD is a collection of new music for tuba by me and some of my favorite composers. Since my first feeble attempts to compose (about 10 years ago), I have found great challenge and fun in writing. Some of those pieces for tuba are featured here. The others (with the exception of the Tchaikovsky) were commissioned for this recording. Beginning in 1995 with the Los Tubas pieces, it took four years to put together and record all the works. Collectively they cover many styles and formats including: solo tuba, two tubas, four tubas and vibraphone, six tubas and percussion, tuba and piano, tuba and harp, and tuba in brass quintet.
I have trouble describing this CD. "Everything but the kitchen sink" comes to mind.
