Shotgun and Tuba Skinny, both from New Orleans, joined forces in a great performance of Over in the Gloryland. That's Shaye Cohn on piano and Charlie Halloran is on Trombone. Recorded at Bix Fest in Racine Wisconsin March 8, 2015.
Brilliant! No one sings this with as much 'spirit' as Marla Dixon. Superb clarinetists! These musicians are truly blessed to have such talent! I Feel so lucky and privileged to listen to them.
Even though we could not see her until the end, I could hear Shaye's piano coming through with that very distinctive perfect note development that she is blessed to produce !
March 8 th. IWD & Mother's Birthday. She did love HER DIXIELAND. hahaha Boy could She dance. Loved to tell me about dancing to Guy Lombardo at the TO EX. as a Young Women. MISS YOU MA.
Bye God they all seem to be having a great time - I even saw Barnabas smiling for a few moments! I would have loved to be there with my old friend Jim Cullum!
Two great trad jazz bands. I saw Tuba Skinny on Frenchmen St. at d.b.a. a week before this performance and can't wait to get back to N.O. to see them again. Marla does an outstanding job on the vocals but would like to hear Erika Lewis of Tuba Skinny give it a try. Didn't see Erika on stage during this performance.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! This is beyond wonderful. Take your pick of what you love most. Marla belts out her vocal with gusto. Shaye's barrelhouse piano is perfect. But for me, the dialogue between percussionists (starting at 3:14) is the best of all!
If you get there someday before I do Over in the Gloryland Wont you tell my savior that I'm coming soon Over in the Gloryland Over in the Gloryland, oh Jesus, please take me by the hand Over in the Gloryland Over in the Gloryland, all you good folks can join the angel band Over in the Gloryland
+drjazzisme Yep. That's James Evans. But he lives in New Orleans, now and plays full time with the Shotgun Jazz Band ! You can hear a lot more of James in Shotgun Jazz Band's great videos.
I think you mean Ewan Bleach and no, I don't think it is; being a Brit I'm biased but still have to say that I think he's in the top 2 or 3 clarinet & sax players that TS have ever had - and I sure do miss repeats of those early performances with him.
It's James Evans, originally from Wales UK but now lives in New Orleans and is married to the daughter of another great clarinet player, Sammy Rimmington.
If you mean Marla Dixon, she's the leader of one of the very best bands in NOLA, the Shotgun Jazz Band and SHE does the signing, not the other way around, but I know what you mean.
