Recommend To Me Some Tuba Music

I just love the warm, mellow sound of the tuba in Air’s great song Casanova 70 off their album Premiers Symptomes.

Can anyone recommend a band that features tuba as their lead instrument or maybe even a song that does? I already have the more rock oriented horn bands like Bonerama and the Dirty Dozen, but I’m looking for something more mellow.

Thanks!

Tubby the Tuba - Danny Kaye more seriously try The Dirty DOzen Brass Band - plenty of sousaphone (equivalent of a tuba inn a marching band)

The CD is called Gravity!!! by Howard Johnson& Gravity.

It is out of print but occasionally makes an appearance on Amazon. If you see it, grab it! The best tuba album I have ever heard.

This has got to be solo tuba and ensemble tuba music at its best.

The music is jazz and the album show cases jazz standards.

For some of the funkiest tuba playing, check out Sergio Carolino's album TBG (Tuba, Guittara, Bateria). Tuba, guitar, and drums, one work...fabulous. Also look into Youngblood Brass Band's Center, Level, Roar. New Orleans style brass band with great bass lines. Being a tuba player, I can recommend dozens of recordings if you wish.
