[Dixielandjazz] For Sale: GREAT Dixieland Horn

[Steve Marcus]

For Sale: Conn 20J BBb 6/4 tuba (recording bass) with original 24” forward bell, lacquer finish, 7.5” collar.  Short-stroke valves work well.  Numerous small dents*, but the tuba plays and sounds fantastic with the big Conn full-throated bass.  INCLUDES ORIGINAL CONN 2-PIECE HARD CASE with velour lining and mouthpiece compartment in very good condition.  Pick it up and go! 
 
This is a wonderful tuba for playing on Dixieland, trad jazz, or ethnic gigs, etc.  It's easy to play, so it's ideal for a novice player to produce a great sound and feel confident in an ensemble.
 
Tuba is located in the Chicago area.  Photos available for email.  I’m selling it because another horn that I’ve acquired serves the same functions as the 20J.  $845 OBO + shipping.

To anyone able to listen to BBC Radio 2, I noticed that there is a programme on at 10pm tonight called "Jazz Junctions".

The blurb reads:

"Jazz Junctions looks at those pivotal moments that have changed the direction of jazz over the past 100 years, and in the first episode the British trumpeter Guy Barker tells the story of how the first ever jazz record, 1917's Livery Stable Blues by the Dixieland Jass Band, took the music beyond the streets and nightclubs of New Orleans and into the world at large."

All the best,

Allan Brown

(PS. It's not jazz, but my virtual band - the Crooked Souls - have finally got it together to create a myspace page with a few tunes we've recorded recently available to listen to.)
