Tuba Skinny & Potato Head Jazz Band - At the jazzband ball 

You knew, before clicking, that this pairing of two terrific bands was going to be something special. The piece they play, At the Jazz Band Ball, could not be better for giving everyone an opportunity to shine. Then you notice that musicians who usually perform without expression are grinning like little kids. I only wish we could rate it higher than one thumb up!

The Lady Shaye coordinates things so well, she really a gift to anyone who appreciates music in it's purest form.

If you will pardon my French, that was one kick ass performance. Such fun watching the two bands show such mutual respect! WOW!!!!!!!

Everyone doing their own thing, but all doing it together, and in harmony. The angels themselves must be weeping with joy to hear it.

That was one of the most joyful sounds I have heard in many a long time.

the MOST FABULOUS BANDS ... yall are flippin AMAZING! Some of the finest musicians in the world today. Shaye you are a MAESTRO PAR EXCELLENCE!!! Best of everyone in the world. BEST BANDS. BEST SINGER. BEST MAESTRO. Feelin the love all the way here in Kiwiland aka New Zealand. Greetings. Kia ora! Mauri Ora!! Be safe. Be Blessed.

Time to give a shout out to Todd Burdick on tuba and robin Rapuzzi on washboard,excellent job guys.

Makes me get up and dance,arthritis and all ! Thanks for feeling alive and happy!

This collaboration of members of two very good Traditional Jazz Bands makes me happy! When I see the faces of all musicians, I think they all have the same feeling.

If a person can't enjoy a jam session like this they must be dead! This is exactly what is referred to as old time jazz feel good music!! Love all you guys!

When sensibilities, joy, improvisation and love of the art of joyous music meet with a jazz of high altitude, it is how we can intensely enjoy these excellent instrumentalists

Watching the faces of the musicians makes me laugh out loud. They are so obviously so into their music. It’s just heartwarming.😀❤️

That was a joy to behold,and the band seemed happy with it too.

I enjoyed it even more because everyone in the group was enjoying it also. Having fun !!!

These people must live for moments like this ... both bands .......... sit 'em down and turn 'em loose !!

I am getting close to 90, but when I listen to music like this I am 25 again (if not even younger). I know it is just wishful thinking, but I would like to go on record Shaye Cohn will you marry me

This is a terrific example of what is the best aspect of human existence, individuals and groups cooperating and collaborating in order to bring out the best in themselves and each other, and in their mutual support producing an art and an emotion greater than they could produce on their own. If our political leaders could follow this example, humbly cooperate and compromise in order to produce a harmonious result, our world would be well on its way to peace.

this is just sheer talent with people enjoying every minute of their music which is much needed at this very difficult time for everybody. please don't stop

Bravo Bravo, this video just makes one smile, proper foot stomping stuff. Thanks so much for posting . Greetings from the UK.

This is the National Anthem of dixieland music, played by superb musicians.

I'm always amazed by the appearances of Tuba Skinny players in their bayou humidity limp clothes - unlike their wonderful music it's like they could give a shit about what they look like - unless that's part of the plan. They are just so casual and so gifted...it's like watching surgeons peeling potatoes.

... being a percussionist myself, I so enjoyed the "conversation" Luis and Robin had at 4:50

I have watched this video at least forty times and I am amazed every time. Great musicians having a great time giving a great performance!

Tuba Skinny needs more gigs like this. =)

I got my volume all the way up on my tablet make my day thanks don't get no better , l played trumpet all through school brings back good memories 👍

I really don't want to be melodramatic here, but this video made me cry tears of joy.

This rhytm has a century of created, and still sounds nice🎩🎀👠

Wonderful! EVERYONE is having so much fun - (the first time I've ever seen Jason smile!) Great to see how they all respect each other's abilities and share the solos ....So many happy faces - I'm a musician and know that awsome feeling you get when playing in a big session - you never want it to stop - I'd just love to have been on that stage! Dave in the UK

In my next incarnation, there I want to belong. !!! so amazingly refreshing!

Music has harmony, rhythm, beat, and spirit. Music should be inspiring and uplifting. Great to see people going back in time to when we had and played music.

WOW!!! That was fantastic! Love the sound of the combined jazz bands!!!!!

As simple as beautiful. Nothing take me back quicker as this musik. Thank you Tuba Skinny. And never stop to play and sing.

Oh oh oh oh yall hurtin' so good !! Dang can't stop pat'n my feet. Done danced round my room twice.

Today, my wife and I completed a bucket list goal - we visited the 50th state of all the states, so we have been together to all 50 states, Thank You South Dakota, and I chanced on this while relaxing from the road trip and I believe this is the most American music that I could possibly hear and enjoy!

Fantastic. And I've never seen Jason enjoy himself so much!

¿Cómo puede todo ese público permanecer sentado? Por la alegría, por el ritmo, por la despreocupación y el sentimiento que transmite ... ¡esto es pura música de BAILE!!

Very good I like very much your music Melbourne Australia keep playing my music

I wish the world could mix as well as you guys do, then there would be more smiles

I can not imagine what it must have been like to sit in that audience with that much joyousness coming directly at you! Brilliant playing! Unmatched joie de vivre. If it went on forever I’d be happy for eternity.

i just love the pure looks of joy on all their faces, such an uplifting thing to watch and listen to. i honestly cant understand how people dont like jazz. on of humanities greatest accomplishments

Triomphal succès tellement mérité. Que du bonheur ! Avec brio , ils donnent ses lettres de noblesse à l’authenticité d’un jazz Nouvel Orléans brillamment exécuté .

Two great bands together - fantastic ✌️😊

True musicians to the core

JUST WOW, WOW AND WOW!!! What a team you are! Thank's for outstanding musik. Now i can leave this world! I have probbably heard the best tradjazz band in my life. Thank you all. Gunnar.

Now this is a superband!

WOW!! I love this number. What a great collaboration.

This is a great moment in the history of good time jazz.... great job uniting those two bands! Loved the camera work too... the moving back as the song ends clasique!!

amazing assembly, no words

Some of the very best I have heard the last 60 years, nej, hvor det godt!!! I have been listening to jazz since I was about 13,(75 now) espacialley Louis Armstrongs Hot Five and Seven and Potato Head Blues is my favorite tune, but many comes close up to.

Love the Potato Head Trombone Player. Always a Big Smile. Good Player as they all are.

I wanted this to never end. Never.

Love the Potato Head Trombone Player; Always a Big Smile.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE GREAT COLLABERATIONS OF ALL TIME OLD DIXIELAND JAZZ. BOTH BANDS ARE SUPERB , BUT WHEN THEY PLAY TOGETHER THE SOUND IS BEYOND SUPERB , IF THERE IS SUCH A THING . EVERY MUSICIAN HAD A SMILE ON THEIR FACE FROM BEGINNING TO END . JUST WONDERFUL

I'm playing this every morning before I start my morning work out. Thank You from a grateful Aussie!

Love the Potato Head Trombone Player. I'm 87. Wish i'd known when I walked the Quarter.

This is called Jazz and Robin loves it and so do I!

The improv skills needed for this are INSANE! Wow!!!

People with their own instruments and level of expression..... all in one ensemble expression!! LET FREEDOM RING!!

Duet between drums & washboard was a treat. Thanks.

Playing this in surgery has we operate keeping me happy thanks to one and all may the good lord bless you all

Wow! The whole gang is there in all their glory! What a sight to behold!

The Skinny brings out the best in everyone. Even the camera work was exceptional.

Me encanta esta música y como la disfrutan estos estupendos músicos.

Dixieland, my favorite. Grew out of funereal dirges followed by the celebration of life music. No other music captures that for me. Grieving in death. Joy in life!

So says God! This is why you were put here! Best sermon you'll ever hear!

They all work hard at bringing out the best in each other.

How very nice. That we may all share times like these again. Thanks

Best of the best!! Magnifique! Tous sont des artistes sensasionnels!

Tuba Skinny, son los mejores del Jazz, merecen el Premio Novel.

They all just look like they're having SO much fun!

Joyous. So many smiles in both groups. Especially great for these challenging times!!

Me paso horas escuchando a este grupo de "monstruos" de New Orleans. Són descomunales ! Fantàsticos !

Its Saturday morning, and I played a bit my own clarinet and now i listen to tuba skinny, beautiful to see that they all have really fun.

Oh play Dat ting. Love this Gal and her Band

Grupo maravilhoso.

After watching half-a-dozen times or more, I began to notice the eye contact between each player and his/her counterpart in the other band. I saw no rivalry, only mutual admiration. For this performance, at least, they were one band, not two, totally on the same page. It doesn't get any better.

JAZZ PERFECTION !!! These two groups together are heavenly !!

Unbelievable! Great! What the hell of a bunch of great musicians!

Two excellent bands playing a great old tune!

Wow , I’m blown away. Thanks again for brightening my day. Don

For some reason, Love the Potato Head Trombonist ; plays well, always a Big Smile.

So much fun jammed into under 8 minutes! Great solos from various band members which is really great to see! Regards from Australia.

Wow. Just great and pure fun!

Thank you Jim for this wonderful e-mail. It sure did cheer me up.

Joy joy joy thanks 👍

Actual feel good music.

100 Billion thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A wonderfull jam of amaizing jazz band playrrs enjoying playing together Cheers Lady Shaye an Queen Ericka! Love you all!

... Anyway, it's rocking! A typical example of well-organized chaos! But whatever it is ... I love it with all my heart. Thanks you guys for bringing so much joy and wonderful music in this pandemic world. Greetings from Holland, Ludwine & Jeroen

At theJazzband Ball. One of the best performances i have heard.

Never saw Jason smile so much. He's having a ball YA HOO

They make it look so easy!

FANTASTIC.

Enjoyment of life , presented with music!I love tuba skinny!

ficou SENSACIONAL. A MELHOR BANDE DE JAZZ DE TODOS OS TEMPOS.

Robin Rapuzzi is incredible!

REAL CLASS

What a wonderful sound and so much joy and fun. The band's melded their talents very well creating something that was better than either. The split solos were wonderful things. I especially enjoyed the “duel” between Robin, on washboard, and Lewis, on drum kit. I love you all. This is just amazing. Ooh! Robin is always so much fun to watch and he puts on a great show but this time I've never seen him so happy or dancing around like that.

Sheer musical bliss taken to the highest level. Je taim

A one time deal everyone...Such a happening....That great!!!!
