This tuba player is going to need to get some of the right notes speaking at the right time, and not JUST concentrate on his over-florid, excessive ornamentation and ghosting of notes. (Bass players, even at their funkiest, are mostly playing good bass lines; the ornamentation is just the icing on the cake.) As for the band, Chris is one of the very few french horn players who can take pretty convincing bebop solo. Right on Chris! And Michael Davis sounds as great as ever!
These are awesome players and just plain awesome people. They were passing through the town my University was in and were staying in a hotel not too far away. The director of the music department asked if they would put on a private concert for the music majors and without hesitation said yes. After they performed we got a chance to just sit around the stage and chat with them. Some of the most down to earth and nicest guys you'll meet in the industry.
Ive Actually Played With Them At Their Summer Camp At Florida Gulf Coast University Back In 2008......It Was An Honor Performing And Learning From These Guys
