Along with Joes suggestions, I suggest you buy the Castle Jazz Band recordings, any of the Bob Scoby incarnations, and any of the Firehouse 5+2 recordings. You will hear Bob Short on the former, he is the King of the 2 beat, laying down tasty lines with perfect time and one of the best tuba sounds in the universe. Don Kinch or George Bruns will be on the latter, they just flat out play the tuba as if it were the most fun thing to do before, during, or after sex. All of them are adherents to the West Coast style, nothing fancy and 2 beat, just well played time machines. Good Luck. Oh yeah, some tasty solos on the FF5+2!!!!
