Many student musicians who studied privately with Tucker or who performed with UC Jazz became musicians, band leaders, and music educators in their own right as a result of their experience with Tucker. These include pianist, band leader, and composer [[Michael Wolff]], steel drum player [[Andy Narell]], trumpet player [[Les Golden]], and bass guitarist [[Dave Meros]](who played bass trombone in the jazz ensemble).
