Milestones Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 With the recent death of Arthur Blythe, I've been thinking about--and certainly listening to--the great Bob Stewart. He must have appeared on a dozen records with Blythe, and his contributions were always prominent and exciting. Stewart also played in Bowie's Brass Fantasy. These are the two best places (it seems) to hear what is almost certainly the greatest tuba man. But I'm happy to receive more recommendations.

Besides Stewart, it had Howard Johnson, Joseph Daley, and Earl McIntyre. I also remember him on this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milestones Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks...good stuff. It looks like he worked extensively with latter-day Gil Evans and earlier Carla Bley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
