All the best to the band and in particular the fine black trombonist. I saw him on March 18, 2018 playing with another band on Royal Street. He let me sit next to him and we spoke for awhile, then he stood up and my wife took and photo of us both. Then he took a solo!! Great guy.
This not his band. He plays for the Dizzy birds. (The trombone player with the hat) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2k60KGe7ue8.html Great piece of trombone, in fact: great piece of everything
Amazing not only to see *3* violins in a New Orleans band, but 2 of them playing with semi-Baroque bowing style (not the old-school German Baroque style with the hand under the bow, but the French version with the hand significantly beyond the frog, although using standard violin bows of modern construction, at least as far as I can tell at the distance of the camera).
Love "Jackson Stomp". Tuba Skinny has a great version featuring Stalebread Scotty on vocals. Another great version is by Jenavieve Cook and The Royal St. Winding Boys I think at the Spotted Cat. Be sure and check out the original by the Mississippi Mud Steppers. It should be required learning for all mandolin-banjolin players.
'The Jackson Stomp', aka 'That Lonesome Train Took My Baby Away' Woke up this morning Found something wrong My lovin' babe had caught that Train and gone Now won't you starch my jumper Iron my overalls I'm gonna ride that train That they call the Cannonball. Mister Depot Agent Close your depot down The woman I'm lovin' she's fixin'a Blow this town Now that mean old fireman, That cruel old engineer Gon' take my baby And leave me lonesome here It ain't no tellin' What that train won't do It'll take your baby'n Run right over you Now that engineer man Oughta be 'shamed of himself Take women from their husbands Babies from their mother's breast I walked down the track Where the stars refuse to shine Look like every minute I was going to lose my mind Now my knees was weak, My footsteps was all I heard Look like every minute I was steppn'in another world Mister Depot Agent Close your depot down The girl I'm lovin' She's fixin'a blow this town Now that mean old fireman, That cruel old engineer Gon' take my baby And leave me lonesome here
I bet someone knows what that instrument is (alto sax?) that the skinny white guy didn't get to do a solo on but looked like he was ready to and got steam-rollered by the brass and vocal.
Someone claims that any one with half a brain can see that Barnabus is playing an eflat flugel and the O.P. says it may be Shayes cornet.For someone jamming not on his usual instrument I thought it was O.K.--no bum notes ,in the groove and foot tappin.
Trombonist with the hat and vest was the leader of the German Band - "The Dizzy Birds" . . . see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ChoH6SRYIU.html
Jackson Stomp. Check out the original version by the Mississippi Mud Steppers...extra good! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J-BqHli5sc8.html
@@MarkWYoung-ky4uc Okay, that is clearly the tune played by Tuba Skinny and by the 2017 superband, but it is purely instrumental, and I want the words that Jason Lawrence sings, which seem to depart from the text of That Lonesome Train Took My Baby Away (which I have discovered is the basic song), after the first few verses, to something more cheeerful, ending with "everything going my way" or similar.
@@otpkd I've never heard the version you spoke of but I would certainly love to. If Jason sings as good as he plays the banjo, I have no doubt it's a great version. If you come across it, post a link to it.
@@MarkWYoung-ky4uc Surely it is Jason Lawrence singing it on this one. The Tuba Skinny version of Jackson Stomp that I know, one of their best (and adorned by fabulous pair of dancers), is at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rGuLZfMqIoc.html (sorry, don't know how to give a direct link on RU-vid). I think Greg Sherman is singing.
No. The superbands are a collection of musicians and singers from all the various street bands around New Orleans that come together occasionally and perform as one large band usually to raise money for someone or some project. Compared to a lot of the superband videos, this group looks small. Check some of these superband videos out. They usually put on some good shows!
Different "superband," Türker Özer, different date. They are with the "superband" that did a fundraiser in the French Quarter in November 2015. See RU-vid video of New Orleans Superband doing "Banjo Blues" (a great rendition of the Professor Longhair tune "Go to the Mardi Gras" is also part of this medley). They are also probably with other "superband" performances. Check them all out, it is great music, regardless of which date and which musicians are playing.
No, X-75 Hurricane, it is not Tuba Skinny, but, I think he (Turker Ozer) is referring to other "superband" clips, in which Shaye and Greg of Tuba Skinny are performing. The "superband" moniker apparently is used to refer to a band that is put together with individuals who usually play in other bands.
Why do people label the trombonist "black"? Most of the great Jazz and Blues musicians were black, did anyone say about Louis Armstrong "Who's that black trumpet player?" So much racism in the world, these people are musicians regardless of colour.
So since most great jazz musicians are black (according to you) calling him black is a complement. Personally I am not watching, just listening and I hear a great trombone player.
I especially liked the colored trombone player. Also, I might note, that Barnabus is playing neither a trumpet nor a cornet, it is a B-flat flugelhorn, as anybody with half a brain can see.
@@sucher22 You don't need to be snooty about it.I'm a total beginner amateur who owns several horns and I just looked at that and wondered what exactly it was.There are experts in groups who know LOTS about brass and care LOTS about getting stuff right.Then there are the cautious ones like me who don't like to sound stupid or ignorant to smart arses.Then there are those with plenty of brain and heart who enjoy music and don't give a flying focaccia if they get shit wrong :)
Statement by an old jazzfan from Germany : Looking like a street artist, perhaps a clown, holdig a trumpet in his hand, this is one thing. Doing a good job on jazz-trumpet it's another thing. This poor trumpetter-gay should first go to study playing some more than onely three tones with his horn bevore going in concert !
@@jorris58 Thank you for answering ! But this nice trumpet-man unfortunately is onely an actor . Your question : I'd lerarned to play on trumpet when being a young boy in the 1950-tin jears and I love jazzmisic (incloding any other kind of good musik.). This is why I got a little bit angry with this poor tumpet-show named "superband". Thank you !
Fff Hhh. I'd like you to consider how hurtful unjustified criticism can be. I'm not a musician but rely on the opinions of people who are. You are the first person I have heard claim that Barnabus Jones can't play, albeit his normal instrument is trombone. Even if your claim were true, based on one performance, it would be good to renember this was a benefit performance. Seems to me that there was an abundance of trombone players but no one on cornet or trumpet. So Barnabus said, no problem, I'll bring Shaye's cornet for a change. That's how it looks to me. He was doing it out of the goodness of his heart, plus a chance to do what he loves play. Apparently you didn't know who he was, or that he's a world class trombone player, nor he you seen him play on other numbers on the same gig. Maybe you've learned these things since then, or maybe as a good musician yourself the whole thing wasn't up to your exacting standard, if so you obviously ARE an EXTREMELY good musician. Nevertheless I think a public apology is in order.
@@stewartfenton7660 O K, l did'nt know this special relations of this looky band. I think the black trombone-player, he is the best musikan within this session .
If you really are a trumpet player you should know that Barnabus is playing a cornet not a trumpet. He is a superb trombone player and does a decent job on cornet.
