Revolution:

The Next Generation
of Tuba Music

In February 2020, Dr. Jazzie won first place in the Michigan State University’s Running Start Competition with her project Revolution: The Next Generation of Tuba Music. In this project, she commissioned 3 Black composers, Malachi Brown, Keeghan Fountain, and Daijana Wallace to write pieces featuring the tuba in Black music styles for an EP. With the pandemic closing things down, she ran a successful Kickstarter to fund the remainder of the project with the support of over 190 backers.
