“Tuba player Marcus Rojas is a blend of Motown bassist James Jaemes Jamerson and a teenage mutant ninja turtle. With barely a pause, Rojas pumped enough air into that big brass behemoth to keep it percolating throughout two sets and, like the late Motown legend,never let a syncopated beat keep him from building a melodic part as well. This was tuba you could love solo.”
