Rich played tuba with the Dukes of Dixieland and recorded with them along with Louie Armstrong.  Rich solos on several tunes with the same technique as the trumpets.  Rich recorded a CD with John Alred, both on euphonium.  They play standards and some originals.  The CD is called Pardon Our Dust We're Makin Changes.  Check out www.RichMatteson.com

Agreed on Rich. He even was hired to go with Red Nichols to Las Vegas, 
playing Euphonium on the trombone parts.
To the originator of this thread I add:
Two other tuba men I would recommend listening to were Bobby Short, and 
currently Mike Wallbridge who knew/know their bass lines and made the 
rhythm section swing as good or better than some drummers they worked 
with. Short's work with the Ralph Sutton, Clancy Hayes, quartette sides 
from the 50's are showcases of how a tuba man should swing out, and 
Mike's work with the Salty Dogs and other groups over the years is a 
treasure trove of recorded examples.
One could also throw in Country Washburn on the 20-30's Weems sides, and 
Phil Stevens on the Hackett-Teagarden "Coast Concert" album. When Phil 
left the string bass for the tuba when they played
"Monday Date" it mad it the most joyously rollicking side in the entire 
album. The older bass men often played both blow and string bass, 
something lost too often today.
Have fun discovering what fine work has been recorded, and I am certian 
others will add to this list of
recorded examples.
