A great man has passed. Harvey Phillips, tuba virtuoso, former professor of tuba at Indiana University, creator of Tuba Christmas performances around the world, creator of Octubafest, brought the tuba and euphonium from oom-pah to recognition as legitimate solo instruments. He now joins his mentors Arnold Jacobs and William Bell to lift a few. His work had a profound effect on music and musicians. He was not a subtle man, but he was truly a gentleman. And he will be greatly missed. The few times we encountered were memorable, the last being at an Indianapolis TubaChristmas not long ago. Here's a nice video:
