Incredible Piano from Shaye Cohn of Tuba Skinny

Tuba Skinny wrapped up their last set at Bix Fest with a fine vocal from Greg Sherman and Erika featuring some great piano from Shaye, March 13, 2016 in Racine Wisconsin.

[@georgebarnessr5472]

Shaye Cohn never fails to amaze me. Her instrumental ability and her voice are truly a treasure. Along with Erika Lewis and the rest of the Tuba Skinny family American folk and New Orleans style jazz are in good hands.

[@manuhonkanen2111]

Cohn origins from the blessed priestly family of the Israel so no wonder that he is good with the music!

[@mrdog66]

She's a classically trained pianist. From what I've read she was going to be a classic concert pianist when she took up the cornet and the rest is history.

[@LuckyTrucker1]

When someone has a talent like that we are just so lucky that they are prepared to share it with us mere mortals. Thanks Tuba skinny.

[@snakebait5118]

That woman is incredibly talented! Phenomenal!

[@leovendler1387]

My goodness - is there anything that band can't do ? What a joy to listen to them. Impossible to stay depressed or negative !

[@Realgrande]

I bet they cannot tap their head and rub their tummy at the same time.

[@rickbullock4331]

Now there’s a really very talented young lady. The whole band is pretty awesome. Well done,all.👍👍🇨🇦

[@johnasumaa8644]

Ms. Cohn is a hell of a musician. Tuba Skinny is a hell of a band.

[@JamesSterling]

Shaye Cohn and Tuba Skinny are a national treasure. There is no one better at playing this music. I was fortunate to see Tuba Skinny for the first time last year on Frenchmen Street when Greg Sherman was sitting in. He and Erika singing together are special.

[@carriematthews7991]

Shaye is amazing and I just love Julie’s voice.

[@daf827]

Is there an instrument Shaye doesn’t play? Truly, a musical genius.

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

Triangle!

[@markt1387]

Agree!

[@michiellombaers3198]

I haven't heard her on barrel-organ ...(yet) 🙃

[@paulritchie1366]

she is a genius. She’s got a lot of fans here in Australia. No disrespect but I’d love to see a professionally produced recording of Shaye and this great band. I keep saying to the casual dancers and pedestrians in all these clips “get out of the way, look at this great band and just stop and listen!”

[@ericajohnson7535]

...tuba?

[@markt1387]

Just when I think Shaye couldn't amaze me more - this. So incredibly talented! 😍

[@wallaceharper1007]

This is jut marvelous. Just look at. Shaye’s left hand. Thjat’s real STRIDE piano.

[@davidgray3294]

I have never seen them live but I am mesmerized by the talent of this group

[@nealhaas9889]

Shaye can sure tear up a piano.Very talented

[@carloscrespo8878]

Shaye is the QUEEN¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@melgloberman3292]

I just read all the comments below, and all I can say is that they are all grossly understated by orders of magnitude ! Shaye is beyond GREAT !!!

[@NipItInTheBud100]

Damn I love this group! They have such a wonderful sound! I have all their albums and have seen them three times in person and they never cease to amaze me!

[@rascallyrabbit717]

Stalker

[@jerryshepherd1645]

I would love to see SHAYE and the band live I will just have to listen to their video. Please keep them coming LOVE you all

[@stuffnuns]

NipIt, I am jealous. I want the live experience, too! Tuba Skinny, mwah!

[@joebstewart]

Fantastic. Incredible. Solid. Love it. Shaye is a genius.

[@brianpope5243]

I can't believe the talent of this loverly lady.

[@dankinsler1930]

Oh man, i can listen to that piano all day...

[@snakebait5118]

Every time I see a video of Shaye or Erica, I'm always amazed at their talents! What beautiful women! I love those ladies!

[@mb19512002]

Shaye is very talented. Piano & Coronet ? Wow.....what a musician !

[@zzzpht]

And violin, and accordion, and probably any other instrument she gets an urge to play.

[@mb19512002]

I hope she don't play a steel dobro, or lead guitar, or else I;m doomed :)

[@GaylordBuzzard]

And string bass and recently trombone. And I think I saw her in a video with a guitar.

[@travellingbirder]

and violin!!!

[@jphar]

you forgot the cornet.

[@rperez3883]

Is there anything this woman can't do? She amazing.

[@mikeinmarietta]

Well, she probably can't draw! Oops, just saw she designed their new album cover! She really can do it all!

[@SetemkiaFawn]

Shay is a classically trained pianist. she was in the conservatory in Boston before she went down to New Orleans and her traditional jazz. She then taught herself how to play accordion cornet and many other instruments. She is one of the very finest cornetists in the world and it's not her first instrument or her second. She first played cornet into the skinny. One of those fine things that happened in those early years of 2008 and 2009. Yes she is truly amazing and she has designed and drawn all the covers of their albums at least that's what I believe. She's a fine artist although not any Picasso.

[@stevegrooms1142]

I don't claim to know much about genius, but I suspect Shaye would qualify as a genius if tested. Apart from musical performance, she seems a bit shy. But if you hear her talking, she speaks with economy and precision. I think she is very, very bright.

[@davidbrown8763]

Yup! She is a beautiful genius.

[@fetermcblues]

She s such a talent ...amazing all over

[@sooz9433]

Shaye Cohn plays cornet, piano, fiddle, accordion, spoons and banjo. She is the daughter of jazz Saxophonist Al Cohn. Love me some Tuba Skinny 🎼🖤

[@mitzi2500]

I stumbled across this band a couple of months ago while perusing youtube. I, now, can't get enough of these guys -- such amazing talent here, especially with Shaye. Having been a drummer for over 40 years, I wish I would have had an opportunity to play this style of jazz. Great stuff!

[@jwvanheel2177]

+John W happened to me two years ago. still addicted to them..

Shaye es una artista muy versátil y talentosa. La queremos mucho por darnos felicidad. Saludos y larga vida.

[@doughouseworth234]

Can’t say enough about the style and class of this band.

[@frederickwise5238]

Shaye is master of so many instruments and genres of music its mind boggling (but superbly pleasing.), yowsah, yowsah, yowsah!!

[@davidcox7578]

Notice, people who LOVE this band hail from around the world!

[@dennisjohnson8932]

Absolutely terrific. A truly amazing collection of musicians just loving and enjoying playing this style of music! Terrific. Dennis J.😊

Long live Shaye Cohn and her music !

[@joebstewart]

Go Shaye Go! Thanks for posting this. It is so goooooooooooooooood!

[@protonmike]

I just love their musical arrangements. Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful.

[@papasmurf4009]

So, they're really done now? Are we to suffer the world without likes of: Erika "Yummy" Lewis - vocals & Bass Drum Todd "Big Lungs" Burdick- Tuba Shaye "I can play any damn instrument made" Cohn - Cornet Barnabus "Elastic arm" Jones - Trombone Robin "Women and men are attracted to my hat" Rapuzzi - Washboard John "I'm always watching Shaye's right foot" Doyle - Sax Sam "Boom Boom" Doores - Bass Drum??? Really? Please, say it ain't so, Joe. Robin: I have never seen a better or more entertaining washboard player in my 65 years. To each of you: Thanks for the memories. For always putting smile on my face. For making my heart feel young again. Love you all.

[@shurshot2764]

Whadda you mean "done"? They're still hittin' it - hard!

[@shurshot2764]

And why u dissing the cl?

[@kfphillips1]

She has a lot of talent. I wish I had one tenth of her talent. It's just too bad that this COVID mess has messed up so much in this country. Tuba skinny is such a great band. I hope they get back together soon. It would be a great loss to music to lose them.

[@SetemkiaFawn]

For all those who do not know it, to the skinny is named after Todd burdick. This is what somebody called out every time he rode by on his bicycle with his tuba. So Todd is also known as Mr tuba skinny.

[@SetemkiaFawn]

Oh and they ain't done yet and it's 2020 now. They'll keep on busking for years I think.

[@johnsavage7172]

Ihave just found this band &they are the best shaye what great piano would like to hear her play more piano

[@kenjohnson4916]

[@joesmith-jb4ls]

Hooray and yay for Shaye!

[@rickschuman2926]

Reminds me of listening to my Grand Dorothy. She played by ear. Rags and ballads mostly. For a while, she went to the local movie house on Wednesday when the new reels came in. The projectionist would set the nickels and run them for her so she could figure out what to play for the public on Saturday.

[@zevyzions]

I love the rhythmic groove more than anything else.

[@mihovilgattin3074]

Such as great vocals,and amazing Shay on piano,she anything can do!!!!

[@GaylordBuzzard]

Man oh man, I do wish Shaye would play more piano!

[@johnwhite1209]

Yeah, we all could do LESS singing from that Erika!!!!!

[@johnwagstaffe1610]

YES - OH ......YES

[@travellingbirder]

Voice as smooth as a cheese grater

[@crankbv1]

I read somewhere that Shaye is moving away from playing piano nowadays. Her choice...our loss. Have a think about it Shaye, for all of us.

[@wphubert]

Shane has the very essence of music within her soul. The instrument is really just a means of her bringing that to the world. She expresses herself so well on cornet or piano. Which do I prefer? Yes to any why she wants. Just don’t keep it all in, but let the world hear!

[@dennypauly]
