What's so neat about this bunch is that they don't dress fancy so's anyone no matter what ur status can get in to em. Their music touches the heart and will pick you up no matter what mood you're in. When I'm down I come in and go lookin' for Tuba Skinny's latest and by the time I've listened to one or two songs I'm playin em all, going on tour with them wishin I was there. Yall are the best of the best and you pick people up and get them to tappin their foot, then swain back and forth and before you know it you done forgot what was botherin' ya and ya really just don't care no more. NAwlins you done produced a real Jewel. One day, I'm gonna get to seem for real. Lord jus keep a blessin' 'em.

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending this event. Small venue and the music filled the room beautifully! Kudos to Tuba Skinny. They mingled between sets and we found them to be very cordial and friendly. Had a great conversation with Barnabas. Great recording @Eric Alan Isaacson

I've been wondering the same thing, Gary. Today it occurred to me that these seven- to nine-member folks have the almost same personality. They are all dedicated and highly accomplished musicians, most of them having mastered more than one instrument. They aren't exactly shy, but they're all modest and happy to be in an ensemble. Proud but unpretentious. People that good at something are so often full of themselves, but not TS. Robin is a bit more outgoing than the others, but, gee, he's a percussionist. By the standards of that group, he's surprisingly normal.

Eric Alan: Many thanks for catching this for us. 'Got No Blues' is a super tribute to the Hardin/Armstrong original. Louis Armstrong recorded this in Chicago in December 1927. Highlights for me: 00:36 I love the sensible way Shaye tackles Louis' two-bar cornet break. 00:39 Admire Max's guitar interlude taking us from the key of Eb to F. 01:58 In her remarkable link (just 4 bars of music), Shaye takes us back from F to Eb, passing the tune firmly on to Craig to pick up in that key. Yes, I know this is not an original idea of Tuba Skinny’s: the same manœuvre was performed in the original Hot Five recording from 1927. Even so, Shaye is just completing an energetic 32-bars against off-beat chords in the key of F; then, in this sequence of about twenty deft and subtle notes, played while the rest of the band is silent, she transforms the key and passes the lead on to Craig, who resumes, with the support of the rhythm instruments, in that key. This requires a high degree of skill, energy and musical intelligence. Here's the overall structure of this performance: 00:08 INTRODUCTION from Max - four bars setting up the key as E flat 00:15 CHORUS (1) The 16 bars, Ensemble, but with Shaye playing bars 15 and 16 as a break 00:39 CHORUS (2) Ensemble again, with Max playing bars 15 and 16 as a break 01:02 MODULATION - Max continues with 6 more bars that take the key to F 01:11 CHORUS (3) - now the 16-bar theme is played in F, Ensemble, against off-beats, and Shaye again taking bars 15 and 16 as a break 01:36 CHORUS (4) - again Ensemble with strong cornet lead, against off-beats, and Shaye taking bars 15 and 16 as a break 02:01 MODULATION - Shaye plays two more solo bars, taking the key back to E flat 02:04 CHORUS (5) - Craig, back in E flat, plays the 16-bar theme, with his break on bars 15 and 16 02:27 CHORUS (6) - Now it is the turn of Barnabus: the 16 bars, with the break at the end 02:50 CHORUS (7) - the final run through, Ensemble, with a strong rallentando over bars 15 and 16 to finish.
