My mum, aged 92 when she died last year, enjoyed endless hours of great pleasure watching your videos on her phone in her town in Brazil. On her last years she couldn't get out of bed, but she had this music as a great companion. Thank you so much for her joy!!
Man! I seriously don't know where I have been all these years to come and just discover Tuba Skinny today 2 June, 2024. 😪 It's 11:15pm; I'm seated mixing my music and I'm looking for a perfectly mixed tuba sound and I stumble upon these guys. No going back from here. 😂 I've been seated here for a while now and I temporarily forgot about what I was doing because of the sheer beauty of this music here. Awesome!!
In 2022 we are transported by this music to a place and time born out of the soil and the mud and the moonlit waters of a mighty river that crawls lazily across the continent like a giant anaconda. We can feel the sweat on the backs of out grandfathers as we hug them coming out the hot sun from the flat green field. We can taste the ice cold Coca Cola in green bottles and see the green flashes of lighting bugs in the dusk. The dawn is cool, the grass is wet, the promise of another day has arrived. Soon it will be Autumn.
Tuba Skinny, i follow you since several years and I love you 😃, I not only love to listen your music , It's a special treat to see you play , specially greatings from Vienna/Austria
My father, who died in 2004, and who was a New Orleans Jazz enthusiast from the 1920s would have loved your Band. Even though he never heard you, hearing you now maked me think of him. Thank you
This is Tuba Skinny instrumental. The vocal accompaniments by Erika Lewis in other recordings are SO "N'Awlin's," and the sounds heal a soul. Every member of this ensemble is immaculate and unforgettable. I'd be proud to have them dirge and glorify my funeral!
Me encantan estos musicos callejeros mas la humildad que tienen todos les da lo mismos grandes ecenarios como la calle que es el lúgar donde nacieron ...Jorge de Cordoba Cap .Rep Argentina.... 26:23
Estou conhecendo esse grupo há pouco mais de um ano, e desde lá me sinto envolvido com as suas melodias. Parabéns ao grupo pela excelente música tocada/cantada
Love this music, it is healing! That said, recovering from two serious accidents and nearly lost my life! As humans, we need so much more of this. Had the privilege of visiting New Orleans over 10 years ago. Doubt there is any place on the planet that can match its creativity and soulfulness. It is like a spiritual experience! Thanks again, Adele Crowder
Je suis littéralement envahi d'émotions en vous écoutant. Je frissonne de bonheur car c'est une musique qui est pour moi une révélation.Vraiment! Je suis tellement désolé de ne pas vous avoir connu avant... je ne pourrais pas vous voir dans la vraie vie, mais qu' importe, je vous écoute de tout mon coeur! Continuez à nous transporter en oubliant tous nos ennuis quotidiens☺️
SE ME HABIAN PERDIDO Y YA LOS ENCONTRE. ME ENCANTA LA CHICA DE EL CORNETIN. QUE EXCELENTES INTERPRETACIONES. SALUDOS DESDE QUERETARO, MEXICO OCTUBRE 2023
Love this! Takes me back to late 60s - early 70s when I was introduced to this music in and around Detroit by several Dixie friends like Tom Saunders (Tommy the Tuba), the late Bill Roper and many others. I spent many a happy night listening to them and sometimes sitting in…(Sorry, no video…no You Tube back then! 😢).
This wonderful music takes me back to the late 1950s when I followed Mr. Ackerman Bilk and his band playing in South London pubs. It wasn’t main stream then nor is it now, but UTube has brought this to me in Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada. Thank you Tuba-skinny you’re an amazing bunch of very talented musicians.
Mr.Acker Bilk, Kenny Ball and Chris Barber were the best at that time. Today Tuba Skinny are of the same excellent quality. It is a pleasure to listen - no matter whether they are playing in a concert hall or at a street corner. Beautiful.
Great days! I wasn't born then but in the late 1980s used to go trad jazz nights, mostly at the 100 Club, I saw Humphrey Lyttleton there a couple of times. Back then there were still some of the original beatniks around, and they used to take it very seriously. As a teenage lad it felt like being transported 40 years into the past. One of the good things was they didn't expect youngsters at these places, and so we could get away with drinking underage!
I was and still am very close friends to a lovely girl who’s father designed and made clarinets for Ackerman Bilk. Sadly he suffered from diabetes and his eyesight failed him, but he was a delight to be around when I was an 18 year old boy. Just gotta love this wonderful music though. Reminds me of Disneys Alley Cats…..what a great way getting kids in to jazz!
From a young child, my dad introduced me to jazz and it opened up a whole New World for me and I mean from a child he’s gone now but when I play jazz videos, I think Tony D Thank you
Love the songs "it ain't nobody's business " "sweetheart" ," And lou Armstrong no. And "ring those golden bells"(Shane's harmony excellent) great singing mate! Clarinet player...you squeeze notes out like the last bit of toothpaste..awesome. Just love each players ability/ talent. And of course Shane.. she's awesome!
OK! It's late. There's this itch to hear some jazz and my addiction brings me here. As always this gang make the world seem sane and we are doing just fine. Thanks T.S.
What a wonderful set. Music to make the soul feel better. Thankyou Tuba Skinny 👏👏. I could listen to “when the golden bells ring” all day. Just beautiful. And Shaye on vocals too!
Tubaskinny should soon be added to the new smartTv,s music you tube channel.They are missing out on the best New Orleans jazz band ever.This band is many more smart Tv,s
The band plays itself into my soul, they are such soulful musicians and their leader on cornet tells wonderful stories with their instrument. Pay attention to the man on the sousaphone, he plays so great exat in rhythm. It's difficult with this instrument because it always takes a while for the sound to come out at the top. I used to play the tuba a few times myself and I know the challenge. My heart belongs to the slide man, I love playing this instrument, that's what I've learned. I sit there, listen and dream of New Orleans and Tuba Skinny. Best wishes from the forest! Paul 🇩🇪
Greg's singing is wonderful - his phrasing, tonality, timing and enunciation just for starters. As others have commented, 'more please' of duets with Shaye; they make a great vocal pair. What a band!
He visto de nuevo esta presentación y la he guardado en mi archivo de Tuba skinny !! Que extraordinaria banda !!. Me hace recordar a un gran amigo que ya no esta con nosotros, de jóvenes soñamos con viajar a New Orleans para ver y escuchar a las grandes bandas de Jazz, en aquella epoca admiramos mucho a la Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Estoy seguro que de estar con nosotros disfrutaría tanto como yo de esta banda, que bueno que podemos ver y escuchar por RU-vid sus presentaciones. Gracias, muchas gracias por compartir estos videos. Un abrazo desde Venezuela!!
Wonderful wonderful soul-soothing music indeed. That bluesy yet cool and solemn " When They Ring Those Golden Bells" (1:02:00) simply melts this heart of mine away. Thank you Tuba Skinny.
Magníficos artistas y músicos, bella y excelente música. Espero que entiendan mi español. Muchas Felicidades para todos y muchas gracias por su música.
Many thanks to the person mixing sound. Great job! Fantastic mix that just got better as the set went on. I love being able to hear Greg sing. Wonderful set Tuba Skinny gang ❤️ Next stop: buying your new vinyl.
Amo a éste grupo....representa parte del éspíritu original de la explosión musical de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX... nos recrean esa magia inicial!
I began loving Dixieland when a little boy lying in bed at night and getting New Orleans on my radio. I guess I slept about half the night. I knew the names of all the greats. When my mom got me a trumpet for Beginner's Band it had belonged to my cousin and had Dixieland books in it. I took them down to the music store, had the owner show me the fingerings for the notes, and began playing. That was out in western Oklahoma where I could never find anyone to play with.
These musicians pay tribute to their forebearers from the first half of the 20th century and carry on their traditions into the 21st century. Thank you Shaye Cohn for your skill, good tase, and intelligence to select and enlist the cooperations of your fellow musicians. Cheers to all!
A great video and another superb performance from Shaye, showing what a great musician she is. So talented - is it weird to have a huge crush on her? lol! 😂😍
I have seen this band develop over many years - they have always been more than good, now they are really great! They know that the old Jazz records and charts are just suggestions - not maps that must be exactly followed! They have the feel for it. This is something so many other bands need to learn... (I've been playing this sort of stuff since the 70s, also had a radio show for 25+years - I know a bit about it. ;-) )
That was an outstanding show and Tuba Skinny never sounded better. I missed Barnabus on the trombone but Charlie Halloran is always a great substitute.
