In the
jazz tradition the Tuba
was the bass in the
rhythm section up until
the mid-twenties. It was
then the upright bass
replaced the Tuba in many
ensembles as the jazz
music moved north and
continued to develop.
After this period the
Tuba's roll, as bass in
the rhythm section, was
at a standstill and did
not develop through Swing
and Bebop. It wasn't
until Cool Jazz of the
1950's when the Tuba was
used by Miles Davis and
Gil Evans in 'Birth of
the Cool' as an ensemble
horn. The Tuba, like
swimming, is something
you can't do any longer
than you can hold your
breath. In order to
maintain a steady beat
while playing in the
rhythm section I have
developed a system of
breathing called Pant
Breathing. Using this
method, the player can
maintain a steady beat
within the rhythm
section, without losing
time while taking deep
breaths.
