Synopsis

Product Description
"I always knew about Self, but until I was asked to write an article about him in Jazz Times, I was astonished by what I learned. He is so much in demand in the Hollywood studios as a tuba player (plus his recent invention, the Fluba, a combination flugelhorn and tuba) that he has been heard on over 1,200 sound tracks! That was his tuba that projected those five galactic tones from the mothership in "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind."?Self swings his fanny off?and wait until you hear the sheer beauty of his tuba on "I Loves You Porgy"? some tubists get their highs with lows?.the entire mood is one of reverential jazz" (from liner notes by Harvey Siders)
