I, too, am saddened by the passing of such an influential master. My tuba playing was shaped by those wonderful recordings with Fletcher anchoring the bottom of the ensemble. I also remember fondly the recording of one of the Arban Characteristic Study. After hearing this marvel, I tried, in vain, as a 15 year old to master the triplets!!! PJBE also led me to British style brass bands, a musical format that deserves as much attention as possible in the states. Thanks to NABBA, this is coming to fruition. Thank You Mr. Jones, wherever you may be, for helping me in more ways than could be imagined.
