Tuba Skinny, version 2, Last Set @ Esplanade de la Jetée @ Andernos, France, July 28th, 2019

A second version of an amazing set. Now portraying the muscians from a lateral position. Never ever have you seen so many smiles on the faces of the members of this team of outstanding jazz performers - they were in the groove! And so were we! Touring France July 2019, this is the last set Tuba Skinny graced us with on their three day stop-over, Sunday the 28th, in the wonderful little sea-side resort of Andernos-les-Bains, right west of Bordeaux, before their last performance in Paris. How lucky we were to be able to find this gem and being able to record this set in one go, leaving it uncut, for the audience as well as for those who couldn't make it. The generosity of the band is outstanding, free concerts and allowing us to record so close. Happy to share the second version of this set, believe many cameras were running this night. Enjoy! Buying two sets of their CD recordings, was just a small token of our appreciation, compared to all the great work Tuba Skinny does shower us with. Quoted from Pops Coffee: "Michigander Blues: composed and recorded by Jabbo Smith, 1929. Stavin’ Chain: a Lil Johnson 12-bar song from 1937. Black Rag: allegedly composed by William Ridgley in 1925. But almost identical to 'Down Home Rag', composed by Wilbur Sweatman and L. Brown in 1911. Recorded by Celestin's Tuxedo Orchestra. I Need You By My Side: Recorded by Merline Johnson in 1937. Interestingly, played by Tuba Skinny in the key of G - a key avoided by most bands. A Jazz Battle: Composed and recorded by Jabbo Smith, 1929. It’s on Tuba Skinny’s 2018 album ‘Nigel's Dream’. A tune in F minor. Rock Me: composed by Thomas A. Dorsey in 1936. It is on Tuba Skinny’s early album ‘Tuba Skinny’. Garbage Man Blues: Also known as ‘Call of the Freaks’. This is on Tuba Skinny’s album ‘Garbage Man’. For background info on this tune: playing-traditi...... ."
Shaye Cohn, leader, cornet, vocals; Craig Flory, clarinet, vocals; Barnabus Jones, trombone, vocals; Erika Lewis, drums, vocals; Max Bien Kahn, guitar, banjo, vocals; Jason Lawrence, banjo, guitar, vocals; Todd Burdick, sousaphone. Videographed with an over-head hand-held SONY HandyCam, HDR-XR520, in FH quality mode, at times in battle with a cluster of microphones and their stands.

The way Erica drives the sound is so cool. What a singer. The second number is amazing. She just loves to lead and sings superbly.

[@CANDCJ]

Hi @gregtaylor8327, Please read Pops Coffee's post 432 as a start. Then you'll know who leads.

[@CANDCJ]

Yes, they are certainly worth seeing. Hope they will come to Europe, France, next year. They seem to love France and playing there.

[@royd.687]

@@CANDCJ I certainly enjoy their music. I purchased all of their CDs and a t-shirt! Hoping they can put Oklahoma on their tour list and/or we can make it to see them in NO sometime

[@davehereok24x7]

Is it just me, or do others find Barnabus's trombone playing (and sound) very bold but somehow in keeping with the others because it is so different from the way the others play?

[@johnmarlin4661]

Where is Robin playing the washboard ??

[@PopsCoffee]

Playing (and teaching) with the band 'Frog and Henry' in the U.S.A.
