[@Tonetwisters]

Amen. We ALL ought to be singing THAT prayer.

[@Iguana-Power]

Wow, good to hear that there’s even a little New Orleans in Tokyo!

[@debrabolton6475]

One of my favorite songs. This rendition is fabulous.

[@charlesduguid4811]

What a super version of this song, may the good Lord Bless you all. Very well played everybody!

[@alejandrolinares2007]

THE ONE WHO SHOUTS AND INTERRUPS THE SINGER . . . Uuuuuffffff......

[@mrbr549]

Shaye Cohn of Tuba Skinny fame, and a great little band from Japan. Sweet sounds!

[@TheDkbill]

Brings tears to my eyes! One of the most wonderful renditions I have heard in all of my 75 years!!!!

[@michaelmorris3773]

Agree

[@thatrecord5313]

You are 80 now, is that idea still the same for you?

[@carrollclark3439]

Thanks for this music to bring us closer to God.

[@keizai1404]

Shay, beautiful, soulful playing. you were in Tokyo in 2014. please visit us again.

[@edwardcristina9309]

Shaye you and the lass on the Clarinet just blew my mind absolute magic ( Melb Australia )🐸

[@davem.8681]

I've listened to this same song from various artists for about an hour now and I like this one best.

[@Londonfogey]

This is one of the best versions of this hymn available on KZbin.

[@johnbennett6637]

George Lewis was very popular there, in the fifties. Only found this last night. 74 this year, and a Kid Ory fan for 60 years, wonderful music. From the UK.

[@clotisavenue6458]

Love that Shaye....she plays always fantastic.

[@bullitt7544]

Most impressive. Perfect pitch, speed, very, very nice. Most beautiful Trumpet Player, too. FANTASTIC

[@terrywashington8669]

Stumbled across this in 2020. Music is the universal language. Thank you to my brothers and sisters in Japan.

[@lukeholladay]

This clarinet player - amazing.

[@RetirementVille]

Wow, what a beautiful version. Everyone so talented in their own right.

[@clovisrenepereiraribeiro854]

brought me tears to my eyes

[@hammett1757]

How beautiful. Blessings from California.

[@kentishmaid21]

Wonderful! Clarinettist is astonishingly good!

[@davidclark4916]

Agree, and this from a guy who was a regular at the Hall during George Lewis' tenure. She mirrors his phrasing quite well. She has obviously studied him.

[@harrybeau1712]

Don't forget the piano player!

[@ingolfleiblle6661]

Shaye !

[@markhorton3994]

@@harrybeau1712 The first part of the tune the piano player is terrible. She seems to have never heard it before and is seeing the chart for the first time. Then she shows her ability. Her last solo is excellent.

[@faust5946]

@@markhorton3994 that just happens sometimes, last week The same thing happened to me with this song I came in on a session at my university as the newest member and the leader drew the chords on a whiteboard then immediately started playing.

[@wimjansen481]

Beautiful,playing the piano!👍😃

[@htarceno]

as a native New Orleanian, I find this awesome!

[@LeonardGarden]

They've got the touch and the feel and the sound!

[@srgbuffalobuffalony7112]

I LOVE this. IT is so talented and also so unique to see a Japanese ensemble doing it soooo well. Thank you Shayne! This is very very good and I have sent it to my family and freinds.

[@ColCastree]

Loved it shaye...

[@paulineoneill852]

You are all absolutely AMAZING. I have enjoyed this so much over and over.

[@normpeplow3813]

I agree and love these "guys". I watch over and over too.

[@Colombo5218]

Brilliant! Shaye Cohn from Tuba Skinny adds a wonderful dimension to a superb, gifted band with a sensational clarinetist. I do wish they would smile and signal that they are enjoying the music as much as we do! All the best to a very gifted group.

[@pennianthony9419]

Amen! Beautiful!! Glory to God!!

[@jacksondavisTV]

It's amazing to see the worldwide popularity of and passion for such an amazing genre of music

[@phoenixrisingtigerdr]

Oh Good God . . You kids are really awesome . And play the most beautiful music of the last century ( according to Dr Hans Rockmacher . Professor of the free university of Amsterdam ) with a zeal and soul I admire . Keep in the gospel and claim your reward in the sweet by and by ! Love you all ! From Kenneth

[@thecatslivehere]

i wish the whole world could come together in this way. maybe one day...

[@kathyhoen8472]

this particular genre of music seems to carry the power to unite not only generations, but cultures too!

[@lecoeur1231]

only through Jesus, the earth as we know it will never have peace until sin is gone

[@margheritaastengo8769]

I could'nt think that chinese people could play dixieland so well ! My best compliments to your band !!

[@user-xe3ow8bb2y]

毎日、このバンドのこの曲を何度も聞いています。改めてこのバンドの各セッションのハイレベルの高さに驚いています。特にコルネットとクラリネットの即興演奏のセッションの掛け合いは本当に素晴らしいです。その掛け合いの終わりの何小節に演奏するコルネットのフイチュアされるメロディーが綺麗で素晴らしいです。そして又、ピアノの即興演奏のメロディーが美しく綺麗ですね。ピアノの演奏もハイレベルで、最高の魅力の演奏に惚れ惚れします。ニューオルリンズ本場のデキシーランドジャズの魅力を全ての人に浸透させデキシーランドジャズのブームを再復活させて下さい。

[@user-xe3ow8bb2y]

大事なコメントを追記します。先のコメントに忘れていましたが、このバンドの基礎となるリズム楽器のドラムや低音域となるベースもしっかりとリズム感良く演奏していいて素晴らしいです。全ての楽器が気持ち良く即興演奏ができる基盤となる要素だと思います。本当に素晴らしい演奏です。😅

[@BagginsAtSea]

I come back to this again and again . Brilliant. It's where I caught the Tuba Skinny bug.

[@francaragusa7367]

Bravissimi tutti e complimenti alla clarinettista!

[@CPUHakker]

It's always nice to see musical genres cross borders in any direction. This group understands the spirit behind this one and does a fine job.

[@monoyamono]

Wow, I've been watching these guys play because I got really into this music through Tuba Skinny. Didn't know they had played with Shayne. 凄い。びっくり。本真に。嬉しいになった

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

A complete musical package! Thank you!

[@steveapplegate4565]

Best rendition of this piece I've ever heard.

[@duggydugg3937]

[@crochetingqueenblaise2349]

Just heard this tonight, so beautiful, this one was my Fathers favorite. I love this version. Thank you so much.

[@connieclemow4273]

I Love You Guys & Gals !!! And this is on my top ten Favorite Praise Songs or just anywhere anytime songs. You did this so Gloriously, Greatly, And Beautifully. Thank you All Very Much !!! May GOD Bless You And Keep You Posting these Kinds of songs And Your style of Music !!!

[@jerlan23]

This is marvelous. I hope those wonderful Japanese musicians get to play in New Orleans sometime.

[@phoenixrisingtigerdr]

Oh I thought they were there in New Orleans . I was going to book a flight to see them in person. . Where in Japan ? Lol

[@aussiereptilesandherping]

phoenixrisingtigerdr The band is in Tokyo but the cornet player is Shaye Cohn who is American and plays in the jazz and Tuba Skinny in New Orleans.

[@egalitarianist]

What a beautiful and touching performance.

[@MichaelChristiaens]

Praise The Lord!!! It is just beautiful! Thank you very much!

[@christinehoolihan1825]

The phenomenal bliss of every face is proof for sure; that music does bring us all to our best selves, it is in these moments where we all resonated true beauty, in syncopated harmony. In my kitchen, I did plea along with them all. loud and with as much bliss as they all did resound on that day, straight to the Lord to "hear my plea".

[@cabralotniel]

Very, vey, very nice.......!!!! Liked it = and repeat, and repeat.....

[@alfredbarten4901]

I never get tired of hearing this song. Great job!!! Makes me want to get out my clarinet. :-)

[@terryofford4977]

First time I heard this played by George Lewis, OMG he was amazing..that was in Manchester England in the sixties, prior to that I have most of his music on LP's and Still play them regularly.New Orleans means Music, Passion, and ability to bring out the best in people. Today's 'popular music'aka noise doesn't even qualify as music.

[@seldenkid48]

Excellent rendition real feeling. I Iived on Okinawa a long time ago beautiful place and people.

[@sledge1960]

These good people clearly love what they are doing. That is really what music is all about and that young clarinetist just put a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.

She let it all out through her clarinet. God Bless her...

[@sireugenecourtney5797]

That old trumpet playing dude is really funny on this and the other videos with Shaye Cohn.

[@OustalMauleon]

Super!!! Avec Shaye Cohn et Tamura Makiko!! Que de l'enthousiasme!!!! Je vous admire toutes les deux.

[@kwesiattasakyi4978]

Wow! Our friends Asians are not known much for music of this genre but they put a spin on this one. Well choreographed and embellished with all the frill, ornamentation and embroidery. Wonderful Copenhagen! Well done. Marvellous.

[@Allswellsable]

Outstanding! One of the very best versions of this classic I've ever heard!

[@leochen887]

When it comes time for me to go, to leave this earthly plain, I hope that they'll play this song.

[@smithywess1]

Fantastic solos. The bass/piano combo at 6.45 was great.

[@extanegautham8950]

of the many things i love about Japanese culture is how open and interested in everything the rest of the world produces they are, on top of their own marvellous culture...

[@solet579]

Yesss!! They are fantastic!! Very thank you!

[@MarcellaAndreGallery]

As Dad would Say--"What a TONE!!!!" ...WOW. You guys have it. I heard my father-s recordings hundreds of times, and you capture the Tone he was talking about. Oh My God.

[@JuneHeffer]

In tears.. all of Heaven sings with you! So beautiful!

[@dwaynebburns]

Yes ma'am!

[@freidimensional5121]

Great performance. With the Tuba Skinny trumpet of Shaye Cohn. Fits to the ensemble very good!

Who'd expect this kind of Bourbon Street type of music issuing from the land of the rising sun? Wonderful stuff! I'm sure Chris Barber would approve.

[@mortyboardsmusic2444]

I've just happened upon this - what a sensational version, with changes of tempo and virtuoso solos, especially on clarinet. The musicians interact so well and are clearly having a ball - and for older readers and listeners I'm not referring to Kenny!

[@malcolmneeds9299]

How can you not just love Shaye Cohn!

[@vesnaciric4982]

Bravo!

[@colecampdave]

Ahhh - such sweet sounds. Sigh. Thank you.

[@bullitt7544]

Very talented group of musicians. JAZZ especially the N.O. Style always sounds like New Orleans, it really doesn't matter where the Music is played? Japan, Sweden, Canada it all sounds good to me.

[@racheldobbs2028]

simply beautiful rendition! Excellent performance!!

[@jamesstraun]

Very reminiscent of George Lewis et al (see Konrad Klingelfuss). Rough, raw, ready, gutsy - but beautiful.
