Escuchar música de Tuba Skinny Es Para Mi Casi Como Un Agradable Vicio Por El Arte Encantador de Escuchar Lo Auténtico Gracias a Erika Shaye Y A todos los integrantes Compañeros!!!!!!!
She's the epitomy of a "blues singer." A torch singer, a chanteuse with the moves, and the lyrical human memory of the tired, sweaty, acapella, untrained, raw-voiced women that sang in the turpentine camps ten decades in the past. I close my eyes, and Tuba Skinny washes the dust of 100 years from me. I smell the smoke, the human sweat, the shine, the unpainted wood, the southern woods and I hear that voice telling me the stories of lust, betrayal, revenge. For a moment, I relax; I remember being young.
She certainly is, and in this genre' uses 'plain voice', i.e. w/o intonation, shifts, modulations. A basic 'down home' presentation, which is, of course, perfect for the tone and manner of the group. Shaye Cohn! The multi-instrumental titular leader of this group, and others as well, provides so much to the presence and experience. Not to take anything from the others, they are excellent, and have the talents to perform anywhere.
I agree vondahe Shaye’s in charge. She starts the beat and signals in all the solos. Did you notice the sideways glance to Erika to let her know to start singing. She even signals the outro! She is the boss of a superb group of musicians.
Beautifull lady lovely voice great band great singer fantastic band tuba skinny brilliant very outstanding performance by tuba skinny. Love this band . I could listen to this music all day very outstanding performance good dance to the beat 💖💖🌹🌹💐💐
One can't say anything else, that Erika and all the others are playing here, for some 10 years ago, laying a little back and with a very authentic and easy fine jazz/blues style. Thank You very much for the performance.
Erica whow ! Such a pure voice, every note sung with deep feeling and totally in tune, never wavering or wanting in any way. No one exist today such as this greatly tallented lady. Not to detract from the others in the band, because they are each and every one of them talented too, but they all remain subdued in this particular song, to give Erica the spotlight of attention she richly deserves.
Better than "in tune". She deftly bends minor and major thirds, sometimes using more than one pitch on a single note. Thirds are notoriously problematic in equal-temperament.
Sitting here in my kitchen having spent the past hour with my feet tapping and wearing a big smile. Haven’t enjoyed a band as much since Kenny Ball or Ackerman Bilk, totally great and the singer is amazing...
I just love looking at Shaye's face when she plays. She's like somewhere in side.......her playing does all the work, and speaks for itself. She never seems to engage in the facial or other gymnastics that soloists seem to do. I love Tuba Skinny.
One night, when "Tuba Skinny" was playing, I saw louis Armstrong in a corner; he was talking with "Duke" Elington. They were discussing the possibility of including all the members of "Tuba Skinny" in their own orchestras. I was hopping it would happen, but unfortunately at that moment someone woke me up from that beautiful dream...
I found Tuba Skinny a few days ago, and have binge watched a lot of movies, this is the one I always return to....the thumbs down are from tone deaf Elvis fans.
Shaye's obbligatos are amazing! A lost art, missing from most "trad jazz". She has more freedom to do this in the smaller band. Love this Rhinebeck session.
The credit goes to her own talent, as well as the teaching of her Father, and Grandfather. She is multi-instrumental, as well as very pleasing 'eye candy''.
