I taught high school physics for 35 years to feed the family, and played whenever I could. Now I have retired from physics teaching and and enjoying a lot more work with the tuba & string bass. Next sunday evening I'll be sitting with my tuba next to Eddie Bert & Bill Crow in a ten-piece band doing "Birth of the Cool" charts, opening for the John Pizzarelli Trio at the Great Connecticut Jazz Fest in Guilford. Don't miss it if you can!
