Great jazz

[@rhatid]

Doesn't she just lead so well! Well done one and all! Yeaah indeed! Shaye and her Aussie Skinny!

[@andrewp.schubert2417]

This brought a smile to my face. Shaye is incredible.

[@antechinus100]

Shaye Cohn leading an 'Aussie' band. Genius.

[@thomasmckane]

Shaye has that perfect tone and harmony that rises above everyone else in every performance.

[@petercameron8832]

Dear Shaye, have loved what you do for years!

[@farmerbrown3768]

Damn! That Shaye really gets around......the world!

[@martinbunny29]

Great to see and hear a 4 string, standard, plectrum banjo very well played PLUS a 4 string tenor banjo. Shaye, as usual, is excellent and fits right in to a typical raucous Australian jazz band !

[@roycox4512]

Go Shaye and the band!

[@peterallmand2952]

It was great to see how relaxed, animated and happy Shaye was all week.

[@ianlambert8034]

An all-round good band, I was impressed by the string section , and some Chris Barber influence in the fine trombone solo. Nice to hear New Orleans music being played so well on the other side of the globe.

Thanks, MM. The full title of this song is 'When You and I Were Young, Maggie'. It was composed in 1866 by J. A. Butterfield and G. W. Johnson. As you can hear, it's a standard 32-bar song, structured a-a-b-a (so with a Middle Eight) usually played, as here, in the key of F. Good to see Shaye setting a spirited tempo and then directing the traffic so generously and intelligently, and to have her 'trading fours' with the washboard.

[@shurshot2764]

How innovative is it to swap fours (tp/wb) on a song that is a century and a half old????? Queen Shaye!!!!

[@PopsCoffee]

@@shurshot2764 Well, in the sense that it happens constantly in Tuba Skinny's performances, it's not innovative; but in so many bands everybody in turn gets to play a full 32-bar 'solo' chorus, to the point of banality, as indeed was threatening to happen here by the end of the clarinet solo, when Shaye stepped in to inject a little Tuba Skinny-style variety into the presentation with those fours. Also, giving the final 16 to the tuba a few moments later in the penultimate chorus was another neat Tuba Skinny-style stratagem.

@@PopsCoffee Shaye’s ability to orchestrate a performance on the fly is amazing.

She gets it!

Shaye is unselfish.

TOTALMENTE EMOCIONADO,DESDE ''BUENOS AIRES''UN SALUDO MUY AFECTUOSO A MIS QUERIDOS ''CLARE & STEVE''.-THANKS.-

Hola León, mi amigo porteño, gracias por tus saludos. Un abrazo de oso desde Australia!

[@stevegrooms1142]

As Pops Coffee has taught us to see, much of this arrangement is the typical Dixieland sort of thing Shaye avoids in TS videos. Queen Shaye, on her borrowed throne, gives us two delights, starting with the conversation with the washboard guy. That final tuba solo, so tender and sincere, brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it.

[@gsco82]

Wonderful piece of music, well played. It's interesting to see Shaye effectively lead a group of new (to her?) musicians and get such a good result.

[@AK-yw9qs]

thanks for bringing this, great music

[@VicAmor1944]

Alexander had his ragtime band and "Down Under" Shaye has hers. Nice of her to sit in and nice of them to let her! Worked out REALLY great!!

[@robertwmarwin2018]

And Shaye is running this band just like she runs Tuba Skinny. Wow

[@ivanhajncl8833]

@@robertwmarwin2018 It's a time honoured tradition that the cornet player directs the music in a jazz band. Particularly if it's a pick-up band. No cause to "wow" this particular obligation on any particular cornet player.

[@antechinus100]

'Sitting in'? Leading.

[@edwardcristina9309]

Well done to all the band, we still have talented musicians shame that they don't get together more often .Shaye looked happy and I would have been happier if Erika was there 🐸 ( Australia )

[@shurshot2764]

Really? Erica is fine, but a one trick pony. I don't find her voice very pleasant. Think Sissel, Linda, et al. Her presence is not mandatory every time Shaye blows her horn. think

[@edwardcristina9309]

@@shurshot2764 we all have different opinions thanks for yours

[@MM-yn9wz]

Hi Richard, it was just Shaye that came to Australia. Believe it or not, but at that Jazz Convention, the musicians literally just met a couple days or even minutes before playing together. They were all amazing.

[@johnroberts5515]

Shaye came from New Orleans to Australia with Marla Dixon, tpt. Other musicians were Australian. Yes, sessions were unrehearsed and impromptu, musicians chosen....

Such an unique opportunity to see Shaye live here in Australia Please, when and where is going to be next one?

[@simplyrise5217]

Shaye was in Australia! 😱

[@BruceEEvans1]

This is the first song I ever learned when I joined SPEBSQSA. We sang it at a slightly more sedate tempo though. 😀

[@svenarnebyfeldt9066]

I think Shaye play on the King Master cornet...

[@Paul8276]

I like the Aussie clarinet player stopping for a mouthful of beer during the performance!

[@jerrybaird2059]

Is there a permanent member of tuba skinny other than Shaye? She is the only musician I recognize.

[@aprendiz4627]

It's an Australian band. Shaye is the guest.

[@richardorchard5197]

Was the whole TS group in Albury also.

[@johnroberts5515]

No. Only Shaye Cohn from Tuba Skinny; also Marla Dixon on trumpet, from N.O.
