I've been sitting in on a wonderful course, Evolution of Jazz, this semester at the Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. One of the requirments for students taking the course for credit is to locate and review some web sites devoted to jazz. Even though I'm not taking the course for credit I do take exams and occasionally write concert reviews just for fun. I'd like to be sure the professor, Jim Ketch a fine trumpet player, is aware of what's happening in the world of tubas and jazz. Can anyone direct me to good tuba jazz sites? Of course I'll have to turn in my web review paper in secret so the students won't really think I'm truly crazy, doing more work I don't have to! Seriously, I would like to be sure they know good jazz can be played on the tuba in more inventive ways than Miles Davis and Gil Evans used in the 1950s. (See, I have learned something.)
