Seva Venet's first apprenticeship in New Olreans jazz began in 1999 with Tuba Fats and his Chosen Few band. Seva worked with Tuba Fats for four years in Jackson Square, as well as an extended engagement at Donn’s Bar and Grill, and a myriad of other jobs including second-line parades, French Quarter Fest, Satchmo Fest and Krewe du Vieux, to name a few. It was during his time with Tuba, Seva was introduced to many of the local greats including Greg Stafford, Leroy Jones and Shannon Powell.
