    Rich Matteson, Jazz Euphonium - Sound of the Wasp

    Some of you may already know of the late great jazz euphoniumist Rich Matteson. He was a studio low brass player for years and taught jazz improvization at North Texas State. He was also one of the namesakes for the Matteson-Phillips Tuba-Jazz Consort.

    There is a new CD release, and the announcement page includes a full-track download for free. Their motivation is probably to entice you to buy the whole album. And it ought to work - this is good stuff!!

    Rich Matteson, Jazz Euphonium - Sound of the Wasp

    Two brownie points to the first person to identify the chord progression on the free track--what tune is it really? :-)

    As I recall, I might have been playing that tune when the photo in the avatar was taken.

  3. I'm bumping a slightly old thread here. Tubagear looks like it's been down for a while. Is there any way to still purchase / get access to this full album besides buying it on vinyl?

    I don't know of a source. The fact that there has been a CD of it means it might get re-released. Amazon often seems to have re-issues as MP3 albums, but this one isn't there...yet.
