About this product

Product Information

With warmth and humor, tuba virtuoso Harvey Phillips tells the story of his amazing life and career from his Missouri childhood through his days as a performer with the King Brothers and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circuses, his training at the Juilliard School, a stint with the US Army Field Band, and his freelance days with the New York City Opera and Ballet. A founder of the New York Brass Quintet, Phillips served as vice president of the New England Conservatory of Music and became Distinguished Professor of Music at Indiana University. The creator of an industry of TubaChristmases, Octubafests, and TubaSantas, he crusaded for recognition of the tuba as a serious musical instrument, commissioning more than 200 works. Enhanced by an extensive gallery of photographs, Mr. Tuba conveys Phillips's playful zest for life while documenting his important musical legacy.

    This is truely a great book. Must read

    This is a very good book. Harvey Phillips was truly an amazing man. From the age of 17 he had one accomplishment after another. He was so devoted to his love of music. You can feel it as you read the book. I never dreamed that I would enjoy a book about a man and his tuba. You will be amazed at the programs he created such as the famous "Tuba Christmas" with Tuba Santas in Rockerfeller Center.
