Brian Sadler is a composer who created some really fun pieces for low brass and electronic accompaniment called the "Quarantine Collection." It's great!

I am especially impressed with "King David and the Conquering of Jerusalem" performed by Richard Demy

My son, Logan Willis, just won the talent show at Carnegie Mellon U. with this short video of "Gathering the Troops."

Yeah, I know I worked a dad brag in there, but I really, really enjoy this type of music with recorded accompaniment. It's like casting the Euphonium as an action movie star! Very fun!

I'm working on the Concerto for Contrabass Trombone/Tuba. Very fun music.

Thanks for posting both of those, Jake. Your son is a budding star, I think. I remember a few years back when he was just starting out. I also got a big kick out of your entry in the Wessex competition. Very clever.

Both of those were very inspiring. I've been playing with recorded accompaniments for a decade and a half now, because (except for IET) I do not have a collaborative pianist with whom I can work. Almost all of my videos on my own YouTube channel were performed with a recorded accompaniment, albeit not as fancy as these; usually just a synthed version of the published piano accompaniment. These are several steps above that, and cheap at twice the price.
