Steve Sykes recorded Radiant Pathway on his last album "Basso Bravissimo". It's available for download here:

You'll find it on the second page of the "Browse Artists" tab. There's a preview or you can download the track or whole album. I can recommend the album, there's some fantastic playing on it.

Good luck with your search

I might have what you are looking for.

I wrote a Bb Bass with brass band solo Mr C Takes a Stroll a few years ago. One of the Bb bass players in the band I was involved in was complaining at the time of a lack of Bb solos as most brass band tuba solos are for Eb.

Its available via my website. There you can take a look at the solo part and there's a sound clip. Please take a look and let me know if I can help. I also have the tuba and piano version on sibelius music.
