2018-08-24 - 00 - Tuba Skinny Opening Parade

[@jamessnell6176]

They are "The Real Deal!" They are "so versatile!" They can play on stage with microphones. They can play on a street corner with no microphones. They can be a marching band and March into a crowd with no microphones. They are a "True Talent!" Our big cities have radio stations devoted to specific genres of music. I want a "Tuba Skinny Radio Station!"

[@maureensmyth22]

They are fantastic

[@bryancampbell-iq3vm]

Oooo. So good I think the band is the best ever Bunz. NZ

[@marcelbinken]

I love it how Shaye is leading the pack. With just a small gesture or a blink of an eye she tells the other musicians what she wants and who's turn is next. She is amazing.

If you ever catch Tuba Skinny live, you will understand why the recordings sound so balanced. It is because they are already balanced. They listen to each other and are a well-oiled machine of perfection. They are also super wonderful people.

[@87sailorgirl]

Right on ! Saw them four times .. twice in Maine, twice in the Hudson Valley, NY .. just sensational at every venue .. met them too, great folks all around.

[@woodash1]

I caught them at Bearsville, NY a couple of years ago. And I caught them again in Roxbury, NY a few weeks ago. They have improved. They're a professional level band playing sweet, mellow, Jazz. Don't be fooled by the scruffy clothes. Well worth a ticket.

[@allenfriedman2441]

HERE, HERE

[@artistaloca4]

I have absolutely no doubts!! ❤️ 😍✌️😎👍

[@hootsmon4723]

Stumbled across them by accident and I,m not a jazz loving tybe but they ate in a class of there own.

[@jerryram9083]

I am willing to endorse TUBA SKINNY as the best!!!! I do not recall how many socks I have worn out pounding the floor. Bravo!!!

[@dbkimh]

Damn! It's 1:52 AM. I really need to go to sleep, but I can't stop watching. These talented musicians playing fun music are making me pay the price!

[@sr4663]

They are a national treasure, a truly a world class band.

[@herbertbeuslein1806]

Yes, they are

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Listening to this great band always puts a big smile on my face, and makes my day so much better ! Love y'all !!

[@montseret1]

One of the best jazz bands around, if not the best.

[@denniskennedy1097]

[@kennethmeyer7863]

Just great for putting you in a super mood. They are number one.

[@valvass4960]

They creats a magic of music before your eyes, in your witness! Amazing team, fantastic people!

[@kpasa111]

Wow, the band was really cookin' on that tune. One of their best ever...and played under adverse conditions.

[@pinchmesh8642]

World class talent, and not pretentious at all. You have to love New Orleans. Hardship makes for strong people.

[@bongobreathman]

Love their band uniforms!

[@jeffreyreibel2863]

America's only original music. Jazz. Everything else comes from it. Multi Race. Multi Backgrounds. Multi Cultures. What makes America great.

[@kenny711]

We are going to travel to New Orleans so we can hear them in person. Been one of our favorites back hear in the east. Missed them in NY.

[@R-bobo]

Tuba skinny the best dixieland jazz band of the modern world. When are you coming over the pond to the UK.

[@cliffcarter6261]

R-1957 bobo NO!

[@barbryll8596]

[@billdmusician]

Simply wonderful! We saw them when we were in New Orleans for French Quarter Festival. Another awesome show. Bought a bunch of CDs, too!

[@dwaynebrue7651]

New Orleans, my home town! I see Tuba Skinny as much as possible on Frenchman Street! They are Awesome in person!

[@joesprinks4215]

[@Steinens]

We saw them in Stocholm many years ago and loved them ever sins then and we are from Norway :-)

[@nigelkavanagh2048]

When I need to chill I listen to this great band, love it.cheers from northern ireland.

[@davecissna2423]

This group has a very high musicality. One can tell they have a lot of fun sharing it as well. As an old time Dixieland Jazz lover, I've always compared a group's enthusiastic fun with The Firehouse Five Plus Two. They weren't musically the best, But they made up for it by truly enjoying what they did. TS out shines them. Thank you for your desire to be the best.

[@williamsantangelo]

Wow never heard anything quite like it amazing!!! Luv Tuba Skinny!!!

[@bcelasun]

Thank you, Tuba Skinny, thank you Jeremy... This is pure joy!

[@Eagle81683]

Bulent Celasun you're welcome. And thank you for your kind words.

[@cherowa]

Great Long Life to Queen Shaye and her Great Tuba Skinny Jazz Band!

[@ikarus342000]

I am a "longtime follower of Supa Skinny. The all so good but the most I like how Shaye leads the band in here very special and subtle way.

[@stevo728822]

They just put the fun back into life.

[@johnchoquette5695]

Erika ! OMG ! - hotter than a Phoenix sidewalk in August ! "Love the music, too :)

[@brawny48]

Sooooo true !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wallaceharper1007]

These are my gys and gals and I’m so proud of them, Just look at them bringing joy to these folks,

[@artistaloca4]

How are you affiliated? I have yet to meet them, but I'm feeling proud of them, too!!

[@FenceThis]

Tigger I cannot be proud of them as I have no affiliation to any of them but I'm proud on their behalf

[@rabokarabekian409]

Help! I've been watching Tuba Skinny vids for over 37 hours and can't stop for anything.

[@brawny48]

Me too !!!

[@BillMasters56]

Tuba Skinny makes me want to go to New Orlean's for an up-close concert. They are great

[@SCGRON]

I am definitely going to New Orleans - just to see them - they are the best - I listen to their music for hours on end

[@bubbatwotoes4695]

Tuba Skinny makes me believe that America lives!!! These guys are awesome, the gals too. :-)

[@victorrodea7163]

Its Sept 2020 and miss them already. Love y'all, stay safe.

[@johnward9728]

Ifound your music yesterday and your amazing musicians well done

[@robertsimon1246]

Couple of Miller lite and Tuba Skinny, I'm in heaven. Thanks for the video.

[@lanelederer175]

Such spirit! Such tradition with a heart for the future. What subtly sophisticated musicianship!!!!

[@angeldamian9124]

Trumpet girl is beautiful , I love listening to their music and watching her play

[@demef758]

And she's fun to watch as she cues the various band members for their solos. A glance here, a nod there, eye contact. That's all it takes. They all know the songs, but everything appears to be improvised to perfection under Cohn's guidance. Just an incredible band of musicians disguised as street people!

[@brawny48]

No offense to Mr. Armstrong, but in my opinion Shaye is far more accomplished. She is BEYOND incredible !!!

[@Jimmsieboy]

effing brilliant, just totally love you!!! Wish my Dad was alive to hear you , please come to Edinburgh for the Jazz and Blues Festival

[@spotsterjon74cu]

I discovered Tuba Skinny a few days ago. I cannot get enough of them. Thanks for posting

[@Eagle81683]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@thomastimlin1724]

The Lord has intervened and save you from musical death.

[@DanPurdy1]

Sorry that Jason did not make the trip. Robin doing a great job on the snare. He has been showing himself to be one fine percussionist.

[@loilt5091]

This is one virus the people can use to defuse their blues! They take me back to New Orleans every time...haven't been their in person, since 2002...sure miss that magical place!

[@lynktalz]

wow, great piece of music and wonderful musicians, especially ones in denim shorts...

[@MontanaTrace]

These guys are so much fun. Great talents. Love their thrift shop fashion statements. They are the real deal.

[@lembriggs1075]

Very nice video of my all time favorite band Tuba Skinny! After hearing this, I am so glad that snare drum isn’t part of their normal routine. We love you Tuba Skinny! So proud of your representation of traditional NOLA style Jazz! Please return home safely!

[@johnwestwood1043]

How dare you, Lem! We almost never hear this superb group with a drum kit, let alone a snare - and this one is so masterfully played - and being treated to a solo is just a bonus. Pity the Zildjian cymbal is missing, though, but I expect you are rejoicing in that, too.

[@borderreiver3288]

an amazing band of top quality talented players...their music is so alive...

[@trig6712]

Wow! Way to go Brilliant as usual

[@yellowinfront]

Boy, oh boy that Shaye has evolved into a quintessential cornetist. Not taking away from the other members, they’re terrific in their own right. She’s always had the ingenuity and God given natural talent. But her tone, volume and ability to bend notes is a practiced skill. An absolute pleasure to listen to her mastery of her cornet. AND she doesn’t split a note every other attack , like a lot of other brass players.

[@CHRIS-xm1do]

These guys are my go to band on KZbin,especially when Erica sings. Been to New Orleans gutted we missed them!!!

[@marshalldillion2835]

That cornet is out of this world thanks to all 👍

[@brawny48]

The absolute BEST !!! GO Shaye !!!

[@Raknieb49]

Super, diese Musik da macht es Spass zuzuhören...... Bravo .... Grüße aus Germany

[@patriley9449]

Shaye is so cute when she motions the other band members for their solos. What a band leader.

[@milanlason3956]

20 seconds of Tuba Skinny... and nothing can hold me on the chair....

[@reinaldorey3939]

Omg, what a great show 🎶🎶🔊👏👏👏

[@cleanwillie1307]

Love these guys. Particularly like to see Robin Rapuzzi get his occassional percussion solo. He really seems to love what he they do.

[@AQUIYAHORITAVIDEOS]

No conocía a este grupo. Pero que buenos músicos son. Particularmente declaro que he quedado prendado de Erika Lewis. Es muy bella. Toda ella es una mezcla de Belleza ,Talento y gracia. Le envío un afectuoso saludo. Whats the matter with the mill, yellow dog blues, I going back home. Me gusta la interperetación que hace de ella, Erika.

[@paulmarchand9537]

Always great, even greater "marching".....and contrary to some, Robin with that snare gives a nice added dimension.......hope they do a lil marching on Royal.

[@andreyk3294]

Балдею от Вашей музыки?

[@stevegrooms1142]

I love this video. Erika, far from being tired after a long procession, is up on her toes early on. Someone passed a note to Shaye as the band marched. Lacking a pocket, she stored it in her bra. At 1:20 she reads it (probably a song request) and stores it in her shoe. Then she lashes into an emphatic solo. Because she is marching, she doesn't have her mutes, and I like this unmuted Shaye. The drum solo by Robin is also distinctive. The tune is Bouncing Around. Alas, this festival is no more, but we have an exciting memento of it here.

[@saulberkowitz3094]

I want a tuba skinny implant.

[@acousticshadow4032]

Wow! Tough picking out any one player as all were stellar in that number, but I did enjoy the two tuba solos. Band is firing on all 12 cylinders here!

[@fb1051]

I am having a whale of a time listening to the tracks of this group... fantastic

[@demef758]

I love the band's numbers where the three "wind" players are belting it out simultaneously to finish the song. It shakes me to my soul!!!!

[@brawny48]

The absolute BEST !!!

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Yep, that wrap up was superb. Just discovered this band, and they’re jaw-droppingly good.

[@koertstijve5714]

Excellente musique... et bons interprètes...

[@vikingblood0408]

They're so damn good!

[@PopsCoffee]

Thanks for filming, Jeremy. Certainly had me 'Bouncing Around' all right. And then the transition giving us the bonus of 'Dallas Rag' - Wow! What energy and vitality!

[@Eagle81683]

Pops Coffee, it was my pleasure. Thank you for liking and commenting on the video.

[@1946nimrod]

Robin has the most superb feel for syncopation!

[@vse-rabotaet]

,Спасибо ребята большое спасибо вам за эту музыку. вы просто SUPER

[@vituskyper]

Fantastici !!! (Shaye è straordinaria ...)

[@newclarence]

I love those breaks that Shay plays - little two measure gems of clarity.

[@johnmackenzie7487]

That little lady sure knows how to lead a band.

[@demef758]

Shaye Cohn, granddaughter of jazz great Al Cohn, daughter of Joe Cohn, a jazz guitarist. I.e., it's in her genes.

[@shurshot2764]

Shaye is certainly multi-talented. Most of us don't even know it all. My curiosity is: Does she improvise sequence of solos, etc. or is such prearranged?

[@maddierosemusic]

@@shurshot2764 I guess she goes on feel - notice she nods to the clarinet, or tuba or drums... and damn she's good at it! Notice she won't put Tuba and trombone back to back mostly.. pretty cool.

[@stevegrooms1142]

@@shurshot2764 you ask a great question. The best answer, I think, comes from Pops Coffee, the Tuba Skinny expert and jazz band player. He believes Shaye makes decisions on the fly about the solos, using principles only known to her. She of course knows what each performer can do. This version of Bouncing Around is interesting because it is much longer than any of the band's other performances of it, and we don't know how long they played this tune before marching in at the start of this video. Note that Shaye has a different palette of instruments to work with here, for Robin only straps on the snare drum when the band marches.

[@dizzyology7514]

@@shurshot2764 Shaye is a *conductor*, one of the best in the world. Imagine the Berlin Philharmonic directed by Sir Simon Rattle. Have they rehearsed what they're going to play? Damn right they have, down to fine technical details that ordinary listeners would never notice. But what happens when the concert begins? On a good night, at least, the music works on the souls of all the musicians and something unique and unpredicted starts to build among them. Then they watch the conductor, not because he is creating the music or the magic, but to keep the whole thing organized. This is what is happening here. Tuba Skinny rehearses their repertoire extensively, precisely so that in the moment, they have the freedom to go where the music takes them. Shaye isn't running the show by herself, they all are -- and they all know each other and Shaye well enough that by watching her they know what the other musicians are going to do. She uses some specific gestures (hand on head means tuba solo), but those are just signals. The *conducting* consists of seeing what is happening musically and where it can go, and seeing that everybody is onboard. Prepared? Yes. Spontaneous? Yes. A collaborative effort? For sure. Coordinated by Shaye? Yes, and nobody else could coordinate it for this band. Brilliant? Just listen!

[@josephdeeley6765]

Love this band. Great the way the girl with the Flugal Horn is so at ease with her instrument

[@martonburg]

Sorry Chris, it's a trumpet.

[@buffplums]

malcolm chambers ah sorry !

[@martonburg]

Cris Cain: No problem, Shaye usually plays a cornet, but seems to favour the trumpet lately. She is classic trained on piano, plays trombone, accordion banjo spoons and many other insruments to a good standard. I hope to see them in the French Quarter New Orleans in April if they are not in Austria or Australia!

[@buffplums]

malcolm chambers ahh thanks for the info chap, yes she is really great, I love her eyes and they way theybdart about reminds of Charlie Chaplin, in a nice way, she is really cute. Love all of the band a very talented band and so wonderful how they have brought traditional jazz back to the main again. It’s funny how things go about and come back again.

[@shurshot2764]

And they are both women - not girls!!

[@brawny48]

BETTER than Louis - no offense, Mr. Armstrong.

[@paulnewman2000]

Some trumpet players try to copy Louis Armstrong recordings note for note. Shaye Cohn will improvise every time, and it always sounds amazing. You can't really compare them, because they are different, both are GREAT in their own right.

[@jaimego]

Great musicians and super snare drum playing
