Something more on Wagner Tuba
George Lewis, the trombone player and composer, doubled quite
extensively on Wagner Tuba and Sousaphone in the Anthony Braxton
quartet in the seventies. There are also a couple of records that he
did together with Douglas Ewart (woodwinds) and Anthony Davis (piano)
for Black Saint in which he plays the Wagner Tuba. It should have been
1976 or 1978.
It is more or less the same period when I saw Hamiett Bluiett,
the bari sax player, playing a very lively cotrabass sarrusophone in
Lester Bowie's (the trumpet of the Art Ensemble of Chicago) band.
