Show & Tell: The Brass Band // Live Footage!
From the 70's into the 90's, San Francisco's The Brass Band entertained audiences with virtuosic music and slapstick showmanship. They were like a brass quintet crossed with the Marx Brothers.

I'm glad to see you back Alan!!!!
I'm definitely going to try this.. thanks for the dyi
Very useful, it also works well with a euphonium on it, definitely not worth putting couple hundreds buck buying stand
What should i use to just generally clean brass? Scouring pads? Mr Clean?
You think I could make it work for a Sousaphone?
I can attest to that. I used this very video to make my Sousaphone wall hanger and my Sousaphone is still hanging there to this day. Alan's video is perfect for us musicians who are on a tight budget. It's easier to hang Sousaphones. You don't have to put your top hook off center. Just take proper measurements and it will be fine. Also, I bought all the parts to make my wall hanger for under $15. Good luck Fellow Musician!
watching this year later helps to realize how incredibly fun this program was, thank you for keeping records of it. i bet the new jazz bands sound just as great if not better!
I wish you'd post more videos! I'm in a similar situation as yourself. I'm a bassist and a sousaphone player myself!
One of my favorite albums, not necesarily tuba focused but definitely has bits, is Miles Davis Birth of the Cool with Tubist Bill Barber. It's considered the first album to treat tuba as a modern jazz instrument, following the melody and taking solos. Also if you can find it the album HiFi Suite by Dick Hyman and Leonard Feather has good tuba parts and a great solo in the song Woofer.
Howard Johnsons Gravity albums ?
Yall need some trumpets too
same looking twins👍
Does TarnX work well against a satin silver finish?
Bom dia! Onde comprar um igual a esse? Por favor me passa o site?
thanks for the precious advices. Greetings from Italy 🙂
Great review!
wooowww
Looks great!
I as the owner of Wessex Tubas have just come across this video. Pleased you like the helicon! For you mentioning the stuffy 4th valve, I have not heard of this before, so think it may be a valve alignment issue, and would suggest you get that checked out. For the unsoldered stays, sorry to hear that. It is not common, I would say less than 1% of horns sold ever have anything come unsoldered - but not good if the one you bought. We are always aiming to improve the quality further and it is really interesting to me to hear customers feedback, so we can incorporate improvements.
I use this horn for my high school band and love it but goodness I have to spin it so much to get the water out
Hello Alan, I am tuba player, playing in our church brass band. I am struggling how to play a chords or how to play a improvisation around the melody by using chords. Recently I found this video ua-cam.com/video/moXMyKRyLwQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TocataEstiloPrimitivosPav%C3%A3oBonito and I am really like that style of playing. Would you be able to help me to figure out how to play like these guys?
I'd like to say that you never put a sousaphone not a helicon on the bow on the ground. Only on your foot. It wears a hole in the bottom of the tubing. If you wanna set it down you have to put it down on its side, valves facing up of course. The slides shouldn't hit the ground if on your foot, where it needs to rest
were can i by one
Seriously thinking of buying this horn. Had planned on getting a sousaphone but this seems like a winner
My dream ( probably won't happen lol) is to have a metal band / orchestra with metal/ jazz drummer, metal/ rock bass and guitar. Also have a percussionist/ sound effects guy, horn section, chelo, standing bass , electric violin & electric mandolin
Thanks for upload this video 🔥🔥🔥
The correct name for a tuba quartet is tuba four " two by four "
Heavy metal music, indeed! Love it! Kinda wish a trumpet would've been used for the higher lyrical part of it ... that would've made it freaking perfect. Still, damned good!
you're a genius trying to hang 2 sousaphones
First trick is what i used to gliss on tuba LOL
I live near Hooks airport in Tomball, Texas and hear small and midsize airplanes flying in and out all the time; I quit playing trombone awhile back but enjoyed your tricks video!
Boing, boing, boing...!
15:15 "blEEA"
My dad can do stupid harmonica tricks. They're hilarious.
Now that's funny!
for one its a sousaphone
No 😂
i’m a percussionist but this entertains me still 😂😭😂
Airplane on trombone? Sure! Helicopter on tuba! Tah tah tah tah into your mouthpiece . Think chopper
Nice old Miraphone I had a 3 valve version issued in high school
Tubas sound like farts.
best insult on tubas ive ever seen
You need to see the doctor, then. 🤨
Tubas play deeper notes and I am offended by that
The Miraphone C4 is nothing like the Helleberg, and these 2341's can be found on eBay for $4,700 opening bids. Just a few corrections.
The c4 is very similar?
fonk sounds like a didgeridoo
That's some truly terrible tone quality. Sounds like you are playing through wet cheesecloth.
How many tubas do you have
I have three- the Mirafone that appears briefly in the video, an ancient Buescher Eb tuba and a Wessex Helicon. I have videos featuring all of them. I borrowed the King for this video.
@@thealanparksproject4156 can you review the CC tuba
The mp is a helleberg
Have you got enough basses?
Cheers for this video! I have been trying to make a tuba stand, this is very helpful!
Glad to help! I have a sequel coming about making floor stands.
How about the trombone making a laughing sound?
I wonder if a brass repair tech could find a solution to that 4th valve response issue. Maybe it's only an alignment thing, but I see what you mean about the initial bends in the tubing from the casing. Maybe it's a valve alignment issue.
thanks for the wonderful video! I'm playing the sousa and concert tuba right now and trying to get a good feel about all the different options and workings of the instrument. a great watch!
Great start to playing around with the tuba. Suggesting if people like this to check out Øystein Baadsvik - Norwegian tuba player - Fnug Blue. Amazing!
8:14 i was like THATS NOT A SOUSAPHONE but then i saw the title and it is a helicon horn
