**John Manning** is a versatile tuba player and composer who’s spent years redefining what the tuba can do. Based in Iowa, he blends global influences, jazz, and experimental sounds into his work, turning the tuba into a surprisingly dynamic centerpiece. Recent releases like *Four Corners - Tuba Music From Around the World* and *Field Notes: Tuba Music from Iowa* highlight his knack for weaving regional traditions and cross-cultural curiosity into his compositions. Tracks like *Pikadeli Shindig* and *Down Under / Iojik* showcase his playful, genre-blurring style, while *Dark: from Four Corners* leans into moodier, atmospheric territory. Whether he’s collaborating or flying solo, Manning keeps the tuba fresh, unexpected, and full of stories to tell.
