There is an entire disc on Cala Records (the conductor Geoffrey Simon's label) of trombone music (I think it's the London Trombone Sound, but I may be mistaken, they had a series of these theme albums), with ultimately 76 trombones playing you know what. Actually very good sound and a lot of fun. Geoffrey told me that when they first started recording in a local church (at night to avoid extraneous sounds, of course) they were chased out by complaints from the neighboring homes, the trombones were so loud. They finally found a more remote, and very reverberant, church in which they made the recording.

By the way, I have heard that the definition of "perfect pitch" is someone throwing a trombone into the ocean and hitting a viola floating there.
Here are five good classical CDs for tuba:

Vaughan Williams: Tuba Concerto, Chandos (available from Amazon.com)

Music for Trombone and Bass Tuba, Torge & Lind, BIS (available from Amazon.com)

Portrait of an Artist: Arnold Jacobs -tuba, Summit(available from Amazon.com)

Bobissimo! The Best of Roger Bobo -tuba, Crystal Records (available from Amazon.com)

The Romantic Tuba, Cooley -tuba, Crystal Records (available from Amazon.com)
.
Check out Crystal Records - Brass is their main specialty, and they've got some great offbeat Tuba and Trombone stuff.

There are two cds published by Hungaroton, a Hungarian label, by József Bazsinka with tuba. Both are modern XX. century music, If you need help to get them, I could help you.

BAZSINKA JÓZSEF (tuba)

Vaughan Williams composed one of if not the only Tuba Concerto. Find it on LP on RCA LSC 3281. I tell you, it is pretty hot concerto to experience in concert.

Another obsure instrument as a featured instrument is the tympani. William Kraft composed a Tympani Concerto. I don't know if any recordings are available.
JJ Johnson is the man on jazz tombone.

The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson, Vol. 1

Fantastic album, a Rudy Van Gelder Blue Note re-issue. Added bonus, Clifford Brown is on it!

Couldn't recommend it more highly.
