Music Minus One Sousaphone Tuba and Double Bass Deluxe 2-CD Set-Native son Tim Laughlin decided he wanted to create music in the style of the Crescent City (but not necessarily using the tried and true classics). So he assembled a talented band of players wrote a collection of new songs and produced this extraordinary album. It won First Prize as the Best Jazz Album created in Louisiana in 2003 by Offbeat Magazine. Tim graciously made this album available to Music Minus One remixing the music to omit the key players - clarinet trumpet trombone piano bass and drums - for some of the most delectable play-alongs we offer in our catalogue. This is music rich in tradition but new to your ears.
