For all you tuba-isn't just for classical music types out there; I just got a new cd today with some great tuba playing on it - the band is called Big Blow and the Bushwhackers. (The tuba isn't a solo instrument or anything, it provides the bass function.)
Anyway, the tuba playing is fantastic for this type of stuff, and I highly recommend it. The tuba player, Tim Whittemore, also plays didjeridoo.
Anyway, if you want to hear some online samples, here's the link:

I'm very interested to know about other bands that use tuba in a nontraditional way. Anyone have any suggestions?
