Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble

**Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble** is a dynamic and groundbreaking group rooted in Tennessee Tech University’s School of Music. Founded and directed by tuba legend R. Winston Morris, this ensemble has redefined low brass music since its inception, blending classical precision with playful innovation. Known for commissioning new works and breathing fresh life into unconventional genres, their discography—including releases like *Heavy Metal*, *Unleash the Beast!!!*, and the *Carnegie* series—showcases their knack for turning tubas and euphoniums into vehicles for everything from jazz to cinematic thrills.

With a legacy of Carnegie Hall performances (hinted at in titles like *Carnegie VI* and *Carnegie VIII*), the group champions creativity and humor, as seen in projects like *Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble and All That Jazz* and tributes to composers like James Allen Garrett. Their fearless approach has made them cult favorites, proving that tubas can indeed rock, swing, and conquer any musical frontier.
