Google 'jazz tuba'.
Read what comes up. I just did and found about twenty places to start research.

Do your own homework first before contacting any artists. Everything you need to know is out there because I just found it.
Sorry to be a buttmunch, but, generally speaking, TubeNet does not do your homework for you.

Guide to the Tuba Repertoire.
I'm sure someone has done a dissertation on this or something related. You could consult a dissertation listing service.
Also, RILM lists pretty much everything ever written on a given musical subject.
Good luck.

Nate,
There is a really good jazz tuba player living here in Washington. I believe down toward Olympia or Vancouver. The bad news is I can't remember his name right now. I believe he has posted on TubeNet and I'm sure he has played on several recordings. There is nothing better than interviewing some one in person.
Three other names no one has mentioned are Joe Sellmansberger, Eli Newberger and Art Hovey. Joe posts here as "bloke", Eli has posted on TubeNet and Art is a regular poster.

How about Rich Matteson? I remember hearing the Matteson/Phillips TubaJazz Consort at the T.U.B.A. convention at the U.of Maryland in '83.

Red Callender's album, Speak Low was the first all tuba jazz recording I had ever heard. It was produced in 1955 (about the time of the debut of the Vaughan Williams) and was widely available in the West Coast by 1957. I bought my copy from Red at the 2nd ITEC in LA in 1978. He was well known as a bass player but his work as a tubist was very impressive. There are other great Jazz Tubists, prior to Red but none, so far as I know, produced an entire album. Bill Barber (recently deceased) was the tubist on the Miles Davis Birth of Cool album and did a lot of Jazz and big band work, too. Harvey Phillips was in the Sauter-Finnegan big band. But, to go back to the beginning of recorded jazz tuba, you would need to research the dixieland players and the Paul Whiteman Orchestra.
