Blazevich and Rochut/Bordogni. Blazevich is great technical works, and the bordogni studies are great for musicality.

Bordogni-43 Bel Canto Studies
Bazevich-70 studies
Kopprach-60 studies
Fink-Studies in Legato
Rochut-Can't remember the name of the top of my head

I have the first four, I am a starving college student so I dont have the money for Rochut but I have read out of my tuba professors and I thinks its just awesome. They all serve a pretty good purpose.

This is partially true. Bordogni is the composer. Rochut was the transcriber. On the other hand, the Bordogni 43 Bel Canto Studies were done by someone else whose name now escapes me. The Bel Canto Studies are written the in normal tuba range. It is one book of 43 studies. The Rochut, on the other hand, is in 3 books. If I remember correctly, book one has 60 studies. Books two and three have 30 each, for a total of 120 studies. These books are written in the trombone/euphonium range.

All of these studies are excellent studies to help in learning to play smoothly and in a legato style. I highly recommend them.

Clarke, Bordogni, Arban-Bell interpretations, Kopprasch, Blazhevic, all of you know these much better than I do.

"Breathing Bassline" by Bob Stewart
"Funk Bass" by Jon Liebman
That one is real fun to play, a nice rhythmic workout and great for diversity in attacks.
(Ghost skips, dead notes, slapping vs. popping, bends, pull-offs...)
Just don´t get caught slapping away on the Ride at the next orchestra rehearsal.

I think it´s interesting how the same methods seem to be used on both sides of the ocean.
