Heavy Tuba was founded by director Heimo Schmid in 1993. The musicians are coming from the Upper Austrian classical and Jazz scene. After a successful concert year, they were able to win tuba soloist Jon Sass, who is living in Vienna, for the project. Three bass tubas, four euphoniums, doubling at times on trombone, as well as a thick rhythm section lends to a perhaps untraditional sound. Since 1997 the British vocalist Dorretta Carter is a member of the ensemble.
The common place or usual is not what "Heavy Tuba" is about. Nevertheless, the good old themes cannot be denied - exactly the opposite. It is music that definitely goes in your ear, but cannot be boxed in or easily classified. Funky - groovy Jazz/Rock and Powerhouse sound sweeps across the stage. Based on complex arrengements and energetic playing. Heavy Tuba's performance is an experience not to be missed. |
