He was also a well-known jazz instructor. Multi-instrumentalist Kuchka could play virtually any bluegrass-related instrument, so that he could put together bands and fill in the missing instrument himself. His main instrument was the upright bass, and he often performed as the lead singer in his high tenor voice. Tom Kuchka died in 2000. In 2002, he was voted European Bluegrass Pioneer by representatives of the European World of Bluegrass Association around Europe.
