Re: putting together list of contrabass tuba quartets that made the Billboard Top 100
Someone... recently made the mistake of asking a certain brass forum how to make a brass quintet more palatable to the unwashed. The answer was a resounding "replace them with drums and guitars". On a brass forum.
I'm increasingly of the mind that I'm just gonna play whatever the eff I wanna play without regard for the audience. So if I want to play Gabrielli, and follow that up with a brass arrangement of a Bob Dylan tune, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm done with seeking approval of people whose musical opinion isn't worth asking for.
Yes, i pooh-pooh-ed the idea of a contrabass quartet, but if that's what someone wants to do, they should do it, and play in every public park and nursing home in town.
If you're not trying to move out of your mother's basement, why would you care about what other people think?
