Tubaist/Noted Physician Eli Newberger Profiled at AAJ
Such is the nature of jazz tuba that few prominent players are household names outside their genre. Can you name “the Art Tatum of the tuba" or a “the Clifford Brown of the tuba"? Many of these instrumental performers are part-timers. Only, don't tell Eli Newberger that jazz is his secondary field: it ranks solidly in a two-way tie with his role as physician, lecturer and consultant in pediatric matters.
AAJ Contributor Edward Bride spoke with Newberger and his wife, Carolyn, about balancing a double-life in music and pediatrics.
