Sounds like Red Callender to me. Probably with the Johnny Maddox band.
He was a great guy. I went to his memorial service and concert at the Musician's Union in Los Angeles in 1991. Gerald Wilson's band played, along with just about every great L.A. jazz musician in town, including Clarke Terry.

OK, I’ll take a crack at this game. I’m about half a dozen sessions into learning how to play traditional jazz from charts and lead sheets. It’s a great experience.
So when I heard these terrific tracks I grabbed my YBB641, found some pitches and tried to play along. This tuba player is really good. I judge from the range he gets on track 02, that this must be a CC or BBb instrument. The gorgeous, smooth sound suggests it's likely a big bore instrument.
I don’t know enough about jazz history to make any sort of guess as to who, where and when, but I sure as heck will learn a lot about putting together a bass line form listening to these. I’m looking forward to the answers.

Is Sharon Callender still selling LP's of Red? She had a bunch for sale a couple of years ago.MellowSmokeMan wrote:Sounds like Red Callender to me. Probably with the Johnny Maddox band.

I vote electric bass over upright...and if it is an upright, it's gotta have a pickup in it...it sustains very well in the slow tune.
I'll say it's a P-bass?

I'll guess it was recorded in the 1970's
I have no idea where
Eb tuba
Gibson bass
It's hard to name tunes in this kind of music, they all sound the same.

Who is this pig? Is he just going to challenge and tease us, with no answer whatsoever?

I'm guessing that this is your own band's latest recording, with you on tuba and bass. (Why else would you ask?) Very nicely played! I don't recognize any of the individual players, so you are probably not from my neighborhood.
Here's one for you, recorded almost 20 years ago, always a popular wedding song:
