Hear Jeff play Roger Bobo Plays the Tuba by Brian Holmes, with the St. Louis Children's Choirs on the following CDs
Available Here See the Video (Roger Bobo Plays the Tuba) (large file) The video is also now on YouTube but the quality is not as good as the one on this page. A DVD of our performance at the American Choral Directors Association 2005 National Conference in Los Angeles is available here. It has been a great experience to perform so often with the St Louis Children's Choirs. They are a superb group of talented young musicians under the loving and extremely competent leadership of their artistic Director, Barbara Berner and her amazing staff. They all preciously and respectfully called me Roger Bobo. I will never forget them.
Jeff Promotes Merry Tuba Christmas (with his tubabuddy, Jon) in St. Louis. Jon never misses Tuba Christmas. Harvey should just give him a big hug! We lugged all our tubas down there, waited for about an hour and a half and got to play for a whole 20 seconds! If they ever ask us to do it again (curiously, they haven't yet) we're just gonna send 'em this video.
Hear Jeff's Klezmer tuba stylings with Sandy Weltman

featuring the epic poetry of Leo Connellan. Available Here ...and if you listen very, very carefully, you can even hear Jeff on this "R"-rated recording with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra
Available Here I was surprised to be asked to pose for the cover of this CD and agreed to shave my beard one last time for the photo shoot. It was a lot more fun than the clown shoot pictured farther down on this page. No makeup!
Tubabadd mp3 (3.18 mb) Jeff Hoard, Tuba and Peter Scherr, Guitars & Bass (1991) It was Hong Kong. It was summer. It was hot. The heat does strange things to your head. Peter lived in a house way out in the New Territories. It took half the morning just to get there. I sat on the floor to play. I don't remember why we did it. It was summer. It was hot.
Early reaction to Tubabadd. Listen at your own risk!
A young listener shares her thoughts on Tubabadd.
Some clowns get to play nice tubas.
Timmy writes another tuba concerto. Timmy's compositions are neither better nor worse than those written by humans.
Hong Kong Philharmonic, 1991. Nice hall...
