Streaming from bandcamp:
Sand in the Line by Heidi Harris: New Weird America--Southern harmonies with sparse instrumentation. Good so far. I'm not sure yet whether she has a deep appreciation for the paradigms she employs or has just heard "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" a whole bunch of times.
Got bored with Harris, but I like this one from her compatriot:
Pulling at My Skirts by Jessie Shaffer: Multi-tracked voices with some fiddle and mandolin. I would describe this as a mix of acoustic Goth with Classical violin, but it's still raw.
2 Ts for a Lovely T, by Cecil Taylor Feel Trio. Thought I'd listen to just a couple of these, but that was 3 hours ago. May as well just let Cecil run with it...
Streaming from Bandcamp and seriously considering to grab from Emusic:
- "A tour de force for tuba, one man's mission to go where no tuba player has gone before"
- [The Guardian]
OREN MARSHALL - Introduction To The Story Of Spedy Sponda: Part 1: In A Silent Room
- "Oren Marshall is a pioneering player of acoustic and electric tuba who, crossing between classical - jazz - improvised - world music, has collaborated with the likes of Bobby Mcferrin, Derek Bailey, Radiohead, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Moondog, Charlie Haden, the Pan-African Orchestra and the London Philharmonic." http://orenmarshall.com/
Dammit, @Brighternow, now I've gotta search through my cd shelves to find a cd. I'm pretty sure I own an album by Oren Marshall, but I'm not sure. I can't imagine that it's a different solo tuba album, but stranger things have happened.
Re: Tuba: I know I have downloaded a solo tuba album (single track ?) from Emusic where the cover shows the artist with a tuba over his head but I just can't remember his name . . . Help !
I tried to search my library for tuba and this nice little weirdo turned up:
Okay, that sounds like the album I'm thinking of. I'll scan over my cd shelves tonight. Normally I would know where to look, but I didn't unpack very well and everything is a bit disorganized. I want to say the name is like Phillip Johnston.

For all the flaws I can point out in his musicianship, Earl could still set hearts a-racing.

Finally escaped from Cecil!

Thanks, someone from some time back.
100+ Gigs of music, and not one solo tuba album...
I'll bet neither of you have any crumhorn music.
Looped violin music. Not exactly rare.
