The CD, entitled Flavors, also features the first recorded performance of Broughton’s popular trumpet piece Oliver’s Birthday in an arrangement made by the composer for tuba. Kent recently premiered the version of Turbulence for symphonic winds and tuba at the South Central Regional Tuba- Euphonium Conference at Louisiana State with the LSU Wind Ensemble.

Flavors is available on Equilibrium Records distributed by Albany and online by The Orchard/IODA.

Turbulence was commissioned by Kent Eshelman and Baylor University and is published by Brubel Music.
