Tuba Skinny, The Full Last Set @ Esplanade de la Jetée @ Andernos, France, July 28th, 2019

[@87sailorgirl]

Whoa ! One helluva band .. tight, hot, harmonious as an ensemble - absolutely in top form; each and every one of them playing brilliantly ... and they can feel it, they're having a ball ! A joyous, triumphal return to Andernos in this their 10th anniversary year. I could point out something superb for each of them, but one has to tip a hat to Shaye Cohn - her cornet is exquisite (and she's using that cup mute with such perfect effect) and she steers them through each arrangement so neatly. My thanks CANDCJ for a wonderfully captured video/audio, and for adding Pops Coffee's fine documentation. Yes, I missed Greg Sherman - guitar & vocals, and Robin Rapuzzi's washboard .. but they were playing so over the top ... ! We're bringing them into Philadelphia a month from now and I can't wait for the music and these great talented and generous people.

[@AndreiFilippov]

Yeah, I miss the washboard guy.

[@sandragriffiths9692]

Well said

[@leonaldobrum]

Andrei Filippov Me too!...

[@stewartfenton7660]

Bob Throne yes and the Philadelphia gig was great too, despite illness in the band apparently. Posted on KZbin by John Dodds. RIP Bob.

[@wallaceharper1007]

The secind tune in this set, “Stavin’Chain”” has the most magnificent key change in nALL of jazz. Just delicious..

[@captainboggles]

ah.. "stavin' chain'... now I know, that key change is orgasmic. I play this over and over for an hour at a time... can't get enough... Thank You

[@michaelmorphites6733]

Let’s keep our hats on gentlemen

[@donyonta5023]

I am so envious of the trumpet player I bought one, I’m 83 yrs old I believe I will play anything close to that gorgeous woman but going to learn

[@InterlochenFan]

I’m pulling for you!

[@mugshot749]

It's a cornet,. not a trumpet

[@gerryhouska2859]

And I am jealous of you, where did you buy your trumpet player?

[@karlos9368]

These people were born to make music , and they are so bloody good at it !!

[@mikes3467]

ErIka still has something special .

[@dikkodick]

Fantastic band in the tradition of the classic New Oleans bands. Keep up the good work guys and girls. Love You all

I'm Tuba Skinny junky, great job you guys , keeping the genre alive and fresh.......

[@andernosjazzfestival6679]

Thank you CANDCJ !

[@howardleach5340]

TS really on form this day. They were fortunate to have quality video and sound recording on the day. What should be remembered is that all the wonderful faultless performance is done live. No hours of sound studio here. Are they from another planet??

[@loreymediengmbh7785]

Simply fantastic. Thank you all, Tuba Skinny!

[@schopeng45]

They are all such individual talents. I love you all !

[@edmondmcdowell9690]

Extraordinary Origin Jazz Made from 150% talented musicians Leaders from Great Shawn

[@johnchoquette5695]

Such a lilting, danceable rhythm . They all play so well - so "tasty" - "listening" to each other - as professionals do . I LOVE these people - they are so delightful - in an age where there is little "delightfulness" in music .

No wonder, there are two women among them.

Without question, the greatest traditional jazz band in existence today, and possibly EVER. King Oliver himself would be amazed.

[@anthonymahoney4329]

The best ever, it would be impossible to better their presentations , content, musicionship both individually and collectively

[@walterschillinger5642]

By far the best New Orleans band playing jazz the right way. Just wish they would play Chicago someday. They would be great at our annual jazz festival on the lake.

[@kullaooo]

Natural people....great abilities...thank you for the real thing!

Superb in every way. They are an outrageously talented band. They also really enjoy their music and this enthusiasm transfers to their audience wherever they play.

[@janeyoneal6878]

i absolutely cannot believe that there is a human out there who could not feel like they are in some strange and wonderful place when they listen to this band...whats the name of the first tune..absolutely perfect.

[@anne-christinepersson6224]

Hi Janey Oneal, Please look at the annotation and you'll have all the tunes. Happy to read your comment.

[@mikierp]

international acclaim shows how great this group really is ... everyone loves them and I have yet to see a negative comment in all the years I have followed them ... Mikie

[@keithtanner2806]

Sublime as ever. There is so much complexity in their music but never a fumble or a filler. Their repertoire knows no bounds.

[@mugshot749]

In this recent video, they seem to be playing better than ever, ragtime bands don't get much better than this. Bravo.

[@cliffordgrimshaw8122]

just a great band we was there on the first night fantastic hope that they came back to france soon

[@frobful]

They said to me in Rabastens that next year they will go in Italy and in Spain.

[@jaimego]

Shaye and Erika two beautiful young ladies that super impress me with their musical talents with the Trumpet and Voice plus the boys in the band are also super musicians and know their stuff - come back to the USA safe and sound and ready to do more music in your home town

[@Steve_K2]

The music is as good as ever, of course, but what sets this video above others is the quality of the photography. Many thanks.

[@stevegrooms1142]

While busking TS videos are so much fun--dogs wandering through the players, dancers gyrating in front--it is unalloyed joy to have a video of this quality. We can see the players so well, and the audio is superb. While I've never seen a disappointing TS video, this one is a gem. PS: the encore gives Todd a chance to play an extraordinary solo.

[@stewartfenton7660]

Steve!!! Yes this is a great one that I watch a lot. Great to see Shaye so animated, and talking!! I need her by my side!

[@stevegrooms1142]

@@stewartfenton7660 yes, yes! The camera work here is sometimes a bit giddy, but that's because CANDCJ are trying so hard to give us great closeups of band members. And while I regret the absence of Robin and Craig, what cannot be denied is the great affection Tuba Skinny has for Andernos. That little town, I've heard, won the hearts of band members on an early busking tour that had some low points. TS and Shaye love Andernos, and this lovely set is their valentine to a city that helped them become what they now are.

[@stewartfenton7660]

@@stevegrooms1142 I even get a feeling of "Elvis has left the building" at the end, the audience seems to be sitting there thinking "have they really gone?" I wasn't fully aware of the story behind this concert, but yes, it's the only time I've heard Shaye say anything like that. And the camerawork is noticeably good, I think C&CJ may be unnecessarily working to counter some unkind comments they've received. I tend to feel grateful to be able to sit here doing nothing, reaping the benefits of other people's efforts.

[@stewartfenton7660]

@@stevegrooms1142 I love that Pismo Beach concert too, though never have caught up with all of it. "Over in the Glory Land" is a favourite for me, especially the moment when Shaye(that woman again) cuts in with her solo. Just for you Steve, I've just watched "How do they do it that way" 3or4 times, and it's noticeable that Robin credits Shaye, they don't do a lot of that. Her solo on this reminds me of Satch, me not being a knowledgeable historian or musician, however. But I find there's always another great performance with this band, it's just endless with all the songs and versions thereof that are out there. I could never have an ultimate favourite, there's always a new one to listen to.

[@stevegrooms1142]

@@stewartfenton7660 thanks for the great comment. An issue that fascinates me about Shaye is how a classical pianist found her way to the cornet, an introvert playing an extrovert's instrument. Louie Armstrong was a stud extrovert playing an extrovert's instrument, and he revels in showing off his high notes. Shaye plays more like Bix (another introvert) with many gorgeous notes in fascinating patterns, not strident and assertive. There are exceptions. When Shaye and the band marched to start the American Folklore Festival (Bangor Maine, 2000) she couldn't use mutes, and she really cuts loose. God, I love that woman.

[@arthurchavanne2003]

C'est du pur bonheur de voir ces gens et d'écouter leur musique. Merci

[@CANDCJ]

Google translation: " It is pure joy to see these people and listen to their music. Thank you"

[@mikeyoung9810]

I so love watching that cornet get played that it makes me want to learn how but then I remember I'm old and have no breath so I guess I'll just keep watching and listening. It's a shame more music isn't watchable as that gives music context and identifies who is making the beautiful music.

[@安藤博-d6s]

Such a wonderful band is a surprise！

[@jeanclaudemortier9696]

Les musiciens talentueux de Tuba Skinny méritaient bien une vidéo d’aussi bonne qualité que celle qui nous est offerte ici et dont on adresse nos compliments et félicitations à son réalisateur .

[@frobful]

Oui effectivement. hélas pour moi j'ai assisté au plus mauvais (à Rabastens). la vision de cet enregistrement me console.

[@acetaminophene]

oui surtout pour ceux qui les ont raté à Andernos.....

[@jeanclaudemortier9696]

À défaut d’informations préalablement diffusées au grand public , il y avait aussi deux concerts à Anglet au restaurant " L’étoile de mer " pour celles et ceux qui aiment le jazz et les fruits de mer . Mais au niveau qualité vidéos , ambiance , joie de vivre et haute tenue des couples de danse , le casino de Châtel - Guyon restera pour beaucoup une référence avec en prime la bonne humeur de l’excellent animateur Robin Rupuzzi qui se retrouvait seul le lendemain matin du concert à jouer d’un petit instrument à cordes entre deux étales d’un marché aux produits locaux dans la rue principale de Châtel -Guyon . Quelle simplicité chez un musicien aussi talentueux ! Simplicité que l’on retrouve bien présente à chaque instant de brio du groupe musical Tuba Skinny .

[@CANDCJ]

Google translation: "The talented musicians of Tuba Skinny deserved a video of as good a quality as the one offered here and which we address our compliments and congratulations to his director."

[@CANDCJ]

Google translation: "Yes indeed. Alas for me I attended the worst (in Rabastens). The vision of this recording comforts me."

[@johnhills6222]

Wonderful jazz session which the late Ken Colyer might have used the word "symphonic" about (as he did on a 1972 recording of Canal Street Blues). The 'Skinnys' were tight and the cross melodic improvisations and understandings between were almost of magical syncopated perfection. Lets hear it too for the videography of CANDCJ-much the best filmed capture of the 'Skinnys' I have seen so far. No camera judder and some very special close-ups. Epic capture all round.

[@CANDCJ]

Hi Mr John Hills, always nice reading your commentaries. By the way, did you go to New Orleans in 2000, for the French Quarter Festival, with the Ken Colyer Trust? We were in a group of 140 aficionados, most of them from the UK. It was a smashing experience from all points of view. And we were hooked.
