A disc for tuba lovers — great music, great performances!

Gregory Fritze is a prize-winning composer, Fulbright Scholar and an active performer, conductor and educator and is chair of the composition department at Berklee College of Music. His passion for the tuba has inspired numerous compositions and this recording features his music for that instrument performed by Gary Bird, the retired professor emeritus of music at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and friends.

I have the entire CD and I think it is a nugget for all tuba players to own. You can learn a lot by listening to a tuba player. Gary Bird is one such player.
