Tuba Skinny performs at Seven Days of Satch!

Live musical performance by Tuba Skinny for the Seven Days of Satch presented by Chevron, a virtual event produced by French Quarter Festivals, Inc. It pays tribute to 20th anniversary of Satchmo SummerFest, an annual festival dedicated to Louis Armstrong. All Seven Days of Satch musical performances were sponsored by the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park and filmed at the New Orleans Jazz Museum.

Excellent! No band playing this style of music is better than Tuba Skinny! Just perfect.

[@ztahs]

Ant time things get depresssing I just listen to these guys and the world is ok again. They are really first-rate.

[@billbaynes3432]

🇬🇧A really well thought out programme played meticulously by every member of the band! I tell you these jazz musicians are the very best in the business! I’m a retired double bass player by the way and 83 years old so I know what I am talking about! I can’t think of enough words to describe just how awesome this band is! I’ve lay on my bed alone and listened carefully to every note played! I must say again these guys are the best! ❤️👍

[@edhensley7082]

Couldn't agree more Bill. IMHO, Tuba Skinny will be remembered as the top Jazz Band of the 21st Century, with no less awe & wonder as we Honor & Remember Satch with.

[@anthonymahoney4329]

I am also 83 and played G Banjo and entirely agree , the best ever band of their type, l do hope they continue to keep together for ever

[@johnbrewster5520]

I've been listening to them too and though I'm not able to be analytical I think I have not heard better. And what a team - the bulk of them have been together for so long they must know each others thoughts. Long may it continue! Just wished they'd toured here or advertised France - easily reached and great venues.

[@jimahl680]

Bill just discovered Skinny Tuba last 2 months in lockup of our care facility. Also 88 years young and have played my gut bucket bass with our church up-tempo gospel brass band. Love Ericka on her drum and vocals. We miss her and hope she can return soon. Shaye, go girl ! Love the sound :)

[@sydchaden]

I grew up in Chicago, and I have been a fan of jazz since my teens. During my 90 years, I have enjoyed a number of jazz greats, including, of course, Satch. Today, my best music moments are spent listening to Tuba Skinny, who I definitely rank among the jazz greats that I have enjoyed.

[@yogisuperman]

Wow. When you talk about a band being tight, crikey these are so tight they could be glued, impeccable timing, superb. On the Erika subject, Erika has been part of TS from the virtual beginning. Her voice is amazing, word clarity and facial expression is the best. Yes TS are superb as an instrumental band but for me TS are 9 including the brilliant Erika.

Merci beaucoup, Pops. Je suis en train de récupérer le son de la vidéo et de 'découper' les chansons en pistes individuelles.

If you ever watch Shaye and her movements she is one ball of rhythm. It so deeply embedded in mind and body.

[@stevegrooms1142]

goodoleusa perhaps you have noticed she has a distinctive way of keeping time, shooting a foot forward and back with the beat. She usually does that with her right, but she can do it with the left. And she will tip her head left and right at times. None of that is planned, and she probably isn't even aware of what she's doing. I think she's just deep in the music, really feeling it.

[@Django44]

@@ianbaird9252 Yes; agreed Ian. He somehow 'gets inside' a song and brings to it his own emotional sincerity, which I believe is an ability you either have or haven't. He sometimes alters the melodic line to suit where he's going, occasionally sings behind or ahead of the beat (his timing is captivating) and enunciates in a distinct style, dropping consonants or blending the close of a phrase while segueing into the next one. I could see him in a solo show with his favorite songlist; he has a long career ahead of him.
