Arnold JacobsArnold Jacobs (June 11 1915 - October 7 1998) was the principal tubist for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1944 until his retirement in 1988. Jacobs was considered one of the foremost brass pedagogues of his time and was considered an expert on breathing as it related to brasswind, woodwind, and vocal performance. While it is rumored that he had only one lung, he did in fact have both of his lungs. Due to childhood illness and adult onset asthma, his lung capacity was significantly impaired. He is best remembered for his playing philosophy which he referred to as song and wind. More information about Arnold Jacobs can be found in the books Arnold Jacobs: Song and Wind and Arnold Jacobs: The Legacy of a Master.
