Do you mean modern, contemporary style with rhythm section and lush harmonies? Check out some of Jim Self's work. He posts here occasionally. I think his web address is www.BassetHoundBlues.com
You'll also want to hear Howard Johnson and the tuba jazz group Gravity.
If you're looking for more traditional style, ragtime or dixieland feeling stuff, pick up a Sam Pilafian album with his group Travelin' Light. it'm mostly tuba, banjo (or guitar) and Clarinet, and the playing is superb.
You'll also want to hear Eli Newberger for the really traditional stuff. I think you can find audio clips at www.BlackEagleJazz.com
Eli has posted here sometimes too.
Everything I've heard by Dave Gannet is fantastic too, it all depends on what you're looking for.
Good luck searching!
