There is some really fun-sounding tuba stuff going on in a lot of that old Vegas Rat Pack stuff. So who played all of it?

Were the musicians:
1. Vegas players recorded in Vegas?
2. Vegas players recorded in LA?
3. LA players recorded in LA?
4. Members of Chuck Jackson's orchestra that he teaches out there?

And (mostly) who played all of those great tuba parts? It makes sense that it would have been some doubling king, but there is always plenty of bass and there seems to be bass trombone as well in these tunes. Was the tubist on the Wham of Sam album an actual tubist making a living playing those shows?

Anyone? Anyone?
