"I arranged Tiger Rag for Professor Trudy Kane and the Frost Flute Ensemble during the fall of 2012. Trudy had recently received the wonderful news that her ensemble had been chosen to perform at the National Flute Association Convention in NEW ORLEANS during the summer of 2013.

As soon as Trudy asked me to write an arrangement of a New Orleans celebratory jazz selection to close her performance, I thought of Tiger Rag! This “Stomp” type of traditional jazz raucous finale music was so much fun to arrange for the Flute family at Frost featuring their mentor teacher flying through virtuoso “hot licks” ! I will never forget the shock in the faces of her students when we first read the arrangement ! What they didn’t know was years ago as young New York musicians, we had spent many hours in theater pits and recording sessions playing a myriad of musical styles and time periods. Trudy was one of the most happy, upbeat virtuoso musicians in our generation long before she was a star Principal member of the great Metropolitan Opera Orchestra!

It was so much fun to hear the enthusiasm of Trudy and All the Frost Flute Ensemble members that I grabbed my tuba and insinuated myself into the arrangement!"
