Tuba Skinny is the best band on Royal Street in French Quarter of New Orleans. They are made up of many horns, supported by a rhythm section. Their energy and enthusiasm is invigorating...NOT TO BE MISSED!
OKAY. I listen to everything that is presented to me and I decide what I like and what I do not like. And I had incredible surprises in the metros of Buenos Aires - where I live -, New York and London. And especially in Central Park. I appreciate your comment very much.
Charlie Hallorin on trombone and John Dixon Both regulars in the Shotgun Jazz Band while Marla Dixon is on tour in Europe with the Shakem up Jazz Band. Barnebus and Jason are taking a break while Robin is on his 1920’s vintage drums instead of his washboard. In NOLA there are a thousand musicians playing in five thousand bands.
Many bands on Royal Street are "Pick-Up Bands," that allow various musicians to "sit-in" with them for the day. Others are more structured in their line-up. I assume Tuba Skinny "picked up" a musician for the day.
I think it's true. But this group usually presents good musicians. Not all, of course. Tuba Skinny band seems to me a very genuine expression. Watching the videos, of course. And comparing.
