Man Bites Dog or I Found a Tuba

Sonofagun. I found a tuba playing...bebop. Max Roach's You Stepped Out of A Dream on his Deeds, Not Words Album. Unbelievable. I wasn't paying attention and caught myself thinking that I heard a tuba...playing something other than the normal umpah pah pah. Not bad, actually. I love Max Roach. He's one hip drummer and working with Clifford Brown on so many of his albums was no mistake. If you haven't heard a tuba play jazz, you gotta check this out.
