I first worked with Gene Pokorny when he played on my CD, Brass Nation. His playing was sublime and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, says the same thing about Gene: the greatest musician to ever pick up a tuba and the greatest guy you’d ever want to be around. I’m grateful that Gene also played on my New Brass CD, as well as collaborating with me on the 20 Minute Warm-Up for Tuba. Every time I see Gene or get to work with him, it’s inspiring. This interview was no exception. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
