"Just A Closer Walk With Thee" - Tuba Skinny

[@DanPurdy1]

Such a favorite, beautiful old song. Done as a New Orleans funeral march to the Church. A great honor for those who had just left us. The always great sound and video. New Orleans traditional jazz at its best.

[@martinX71055]

You're right about the bittersweet funeral march. Beautiful solos especially tuba today. Martin London England mx

[@TheWsm0]

Thanks, James.

[@brianwalker7323]

Beautiful. So glad I got to see them again. Missing Erika.

[@stangetty8166]

This was certainly different, and Tuba Skinny, knocked it out the ballpark! a great dedication, from them, and this one always, pulls on the heartstrings! Thanks James, for bringing this one, for us too savour! 👌

[@guypannetier7424]

Great that you have filmed Tuba Skinny at Jackson Square this French Quarter Festival again. I feel so happy and privileged that I can watch and listen to the band on your channel. Thank you so much. Best wishes to you Dave 👋

[@anthonymahoney4329]

Please add my thanks to James I would be lost without my daily dose of his postings

[@billbush1270]

Thank you, had lunch with a friend from Louisiana today, and we discussed Jazz Fest, NOLA food, Frenchmen Street. This just adds to the longing to be there.

[@elianadelpizzo7141]

Vale a pena viver para assistir essa banda maravilhosa tocar tão linda composição. Agradeço de coração, James.

Such a beautiful send-off for two of the greatest...thank you.🌟💓🌟

Thank you James.

Wow! Almost live. Wonderful to see them in action again! A Dutch fan.

[@carmenmariliafranzon9655]

Sou outra brasileira fã ardorosa dessa banda. Escuto todos os dias quando faço minha corrida no parque da Redenção em Porto Alegre. Eles me inspiram definitivamente. Não consigo parar de escutar músicas tocadas de forma tão encantadora. Fico maravilhada da forma como são harmoniosos, como os instrumentos conversam entre si. Definitivamente, são os músicos que sempre quero ouvir.

[@ronwelch8838]

'ta certo!

[@ronaldrobertson1274]

Very well done. Superb clarity.

[@alanmoffat4680]

Wow, what a soulful sound to an old tune. Just marked it down in my favorites column.

[@alainhirschler325]

Excellente version ! Bravo !!

[@michaelb4197]

James…don’t know what you and TS are going to do to beat this one. Outstanding job from both of you. Well done.

[@billblock8090]

Thank you James. Great as usual.

[@feliperosa6732]

Wow. Such a beautiful rendition of this always-emotional piece.

[@michaelcoghlan9124]

Yes Very nice thank you

[@BudgieJane]

Sloppiness? I didn't see any. Thank you for posting this so soon after the show.

[@paulsobu9084]

Hhhh. . . super heavy feeling of this mad world . . God bless you all - God bless USA 🤲

[@DavidMenashe]

Thank you, James. I didn't record this one but now I have a permanent record of this special number

[@nsawanobori]

A very deep and moving rendition of this tune the way it should be played.

[@bobboscarato1313]

An absolute must for the funeral of a New Orleans Jazz lover. I will have Mighty lak' a Rose by Jack Teagarden.

Many thanks Again

[@jerrianderson4867]

Yay!!!! James, thank you.

[@mikecoulson9709]

Love how Shaye signals very subtly when she wants another musician to take the lead, they know exactly what’s expected of them but it appears spontaneous 😀

[@dvermeulen]

Thanks James for recording

[@doylelanders2737]

Bravo

[@brendamello2202]

Great video quality very clear and precise.....Audio was also outstanding.

[@JamesSterling]

I somehow changed the settings on my camera. I'll try to find the same settings again. Hey, I am just a rank amateur.

[@brendamello2202]

@@JamesSterling The ''rank amateur'' as you put it provides us with great coverage of the performances of the absolute best trad jazz band on the music scene today. Excellent work Mr. Sterling ..................

[@JamesSterling]

@@brendamello2202 Thanks Brenda.

[@spudflap]

TS wonderful as always. I'm no expert but the guy on the liquorice stick must be one of the finest players of that instrument in the whole darn world! So many times his beautifully moving solos, esp in TS's slower numbers, have me reaching for the kleenex...

[@georggreis8412]

Ergreifend schön, erfasst die Seele

[@dougreid2351]

Thank you! Awesome pov, scary-good resolution. This is the most intimate video of this band I have seen yet. The movements of all the different feet might be distracting to some viewers but to me it makes their harmony all the more impressive. Thanks. I don't know how you're going to top ths but I know you'll try . . . Thanks again. DOUG out

[@JamesSterling]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@glilly]

Thanks!

აუუუ… ეს ძალიან მაგარია👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@moebeddah2288]

Nice! I hope you realize how important your videos are of these performances. Think about where we'd be without Alan Lomax. As an aside, sounds like Barnabas' trombone is hitting sound re-inforcement's compressor a bit hard. I guess too late to get the engineer to back it off a bit. Another gem from TS!

[@JamesSterling]

Thanks, I am no Alan Lomax but I try to do my part.

[@JamesSterling]

Barnabus has a lot of attack in his trombone playing. He pegs the meter frequently.

[@Tim_R-b]

😄

[@Terompet_kiamat]

if you don't mind,can you once in a while point the camera at the audience that is present?because I want to know how the expressions of the audience there are

[@JamesSterling]

I usually do pan to the audience at once during a concert. Watch to the end of this video from this same performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6HLk4p-YshraaM
