Uncle Lionel Baptiste Jazz Funeral 

Thank you to all the folks who post these New Orleans funerals. They're helping me come through my own grief right now. Very healing.

If you don't think this is beautiful than your heart is ugly.

Se fosse possibile vorrei andarmene così con questa parata di strumenti meravigliosi e perché no ? In allegria 🎶🎶👍👍

I wish we had this where I live…..I’m from the Scottish highlands. It’s such an amazing way to show love and send someone off in style. It’s just incredible ❤

that is like the ultimate send off , amazing , moving and so cool ,

What an amazing way to be sent off. Respect from New Zealand

This is absolutely beautiful! How can anyone dislike this?

Chills just chills .... all over... New Orleans funerals are so moving ... I wish all funerals were like this

This is the way that I want to go away! Respect from Italy

Sent him off in style. Death is sad, but its important to celebrate a life lived.

I am not a man of faith, nor have I been for some time, but my music IS my worship. And this was the first thing in a long while to make me literally shout Amen, no lie. Thanks for sharing this, it was really important to me.

Theres no other city like this!

Wow what a send-off! Phenomenal!

...kinfolk...gather...sing...praise the soft stars falling gently.

RIP Uncle Lionel

I just knew the man from my annual rewatch of HBO’s Treme. He was instantly recognizable and seemed like a really nice guy.

He is my great grandpa my last name is batiste

@Nan Bee Its a collection of musicians that came together for his funeral.

Amazing Grace

This was awesome and beautiful. It made me cry. 'Amazing grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me'

beautiful

that's the way, my funeral should be

They first pay their respect with the sad song. But then they celebrate what the person did in his life and all the good he has done. This is how funerals should be. its ok to mourn a lost one but its a shame to let that overtake all the good things sed person did

Hi Jock thanks for the comment and support. Please subscribe and check out my website. Thanks again and remember....One City One Love ONENAWLINS!!!

That's the way it's done where I'm from.

Love those New Orleans funerals!

God I loved him!

Loving the culture!!!

Very touching.

five'll get you ten Uncle Lionel was boppin' in that box. Just a fantastic way to 'celebrate' a life. Never met the Gentleman, but you gotta know that's the way he'd want to go out. Truly hope 'onenawlins' is happening. "Everybody" getting a little glide in their stride'. Thanks for this!

An amazing send off.......Beautiful

Charbonette Funeral Home, haven't been there since 1988.

Beautiful!!!!

Gone to his reward.

Amen

Beautiful

El nombre del tema musical no es "Solo un corto paseo contigo" (Just a closer walk with thee) sino "Gracia Asombrosa" (Amazing Grace).

YEA EVERYBODY OUT DER⚜️🔥👑 SHITHE GOIN GIT A DRINK WIT SHEP⚜️👑🔥🖤🥃🥃❗️

NEW ORLEANS misses you UNCLE LIONEL - It was a FANTASTIC send off - Here you are singing to your beloved city: soundcloud.com/fabian-jolivet/do-you-know-what-it-means-to Note: You will spot the great musician producer (Dr John "Gris Gris) HAROLD BATISTE (black hat-clothes & white beard) on the saxophone - sadly, he passed away recently too. PS: best to fix the misspelling of BAPTISTE (wrong) to "UNCLE" LIONEL BATISTE

OMG

that was my uncle i was there

Ante la invitación de youtube responderé, no con intención de polemizar sino de aportar lo que pueda al diferendo: .) "Solo un corto paseo contigo" y "Un paseo mas cerca de ti" son las traducciones corrientes del tema "Just a closer walk with thee", aunque puede haber variaciones. Seguramente la palabra "paseo" esta siendo usada en un sentido metafórico, aunque aún literalmente una caminata es siempre un paseo. Conforme a Tom Bethell, la edición príncipe del tema la realizó Kenneth Morris en Chicago en el año 1940, sin ser la melodía original de él, e inicialmente fue grabada por la hermana Rosetta Tharpe, con fecha 1 de diciembre de 1941. El clarinetista George Lewis dijo haberla escuchada por primera vez en una máquina reproductora de discos, a fines de la década de 1930, y que debió ser improvisada por la banda de John Casimir durante un funeral en Nueva Orleáns, a pedido de la viuda del difunto, por haber sido en vida su canción preferida. Carolyn Buck enfermera y amiga de Lewis, relató que este en su lecho de muerte en Touro Infirmary (12/1968), pidió que la banda tocara "The old rugged cross" en su funeral, cuando el cuerpo fuera retirado de la Iglesia Olive Branch. También este tema tiene sus bemoles, ya que para algunos la traducción es literalmente "Vieja y rustica cruz" y para otros "Vieja cruz de madera". .) En cuanto a la Guerra de Secesión comenzó un año después de lo expuesto y si bien reconoce en su origen varios motivos políticos y económicos, el "puntapie" inicial lo dió el General confederado Beauregard, al bombardear Fort Sumter en 1861, un fuerte federal ubicado frente a las costas del estado sureño de Carolina del Sud. Su bella casa en el barrio francés con columnas de estilo griego, frente al Convento de Ursulinas, sigue en pie y puede ser visitada.También retuvo su nombre Congo Square, frente al Auditorio Municipal, al lado del Parque Louis Armsatrong y a doscientos metros del Cementerio de San Luis Nro. 1 y de la Iglesia Ntra. Señora de Guadalupe. Por mi parte punto final.

NEW ORLEANS É UMA CIDADE COM UMA CULTURA ÚNICA, NESTA CIDADE A MORTE SE TORNA VIDA, AS PESSOAS NÃO ESTÃO NEM AÍ PARA QUEM VAI SER O(A) ENTERRADO(A). O MAIS IMPORTANTE É CELEBRAR COM HOMENAGEM AO ENTE QUERIDO(A) QUE ACABA DE PARTIR.... AQUI NESSE VIDEO ELES ESTÃO HOMENAGEANDO O "TIO LIONEL BATISTE" QUE ERA ASSISTENTE VOCALISTA, BAIXO BATERISTA E LÍDER DE BANDA. A SUA MORTE SE DEU NO DIA 08/07/2012. ELE FORA VÍTIMA DE UM CÂNCER, QUE O LEVOU RAPIDAMENTE.

Good thing it's required by law for all New Orleans residents to play brass and percussion instruments.

Damn it sounds similar to amazing grace

Plain old funerals are boring. This is the way every funeral should be instead of being more been crying her eyes out having loud music, dancing, and celebrations. That’s what it’s all about.

@Blaise Doremus The name of song is Just a Closer Walk With Thee.

Via Con Dios

THAT SURENUFF LOOKS LIKE THE U.H.O.P.!!!!!!

What a turnout, wouldn't expect anything less

It's Batiste not baptiste

No it isn't. It'ts "Amazing Grace"

Why do they play that depressive music, and do that dance

beautiful
