I always like it when you have this clarinet player sitting in with you .

[@DejaView]

Always a great band, but I do think Ewan adds a little something extra...

[@jaygamel4746]

Shaye sounds like a young Louis Armstrong. Great tone, control and embouchure. The whole band is marvelous and playing the best music ever made in America. I'm really happy it's remembered and lives on today.

[@davidmatthews3131]

Embouchure maybe, but I admire her mouth shape 😉

[@blazingchris5048]

Well, Louis Armstrong was still from a different class...

[@PeterT1981]

I can’t stop listening to this. It’s the best version of “Tom Cat Blues” I’ve ever heard. Transcendent mastery. Everybody is perfectly on point. Pure genius!

[@GrowthCurveMarketing]

LOVE Craig Flory, but Ewan Bleach's phrasing and percussive attack make his clarinet work SO engaging.

[@royspencer534]

In the annals of great classic jazz bands Tuba Skinny are right up there

[@pcallah3442]

Outstanding! What an incredible collection of musicians. A true treasure.

the Woman on the Cornet,and her Group Wow

[@dizzyology7514]

Well, this is it. Fan of Tuba Skinny for years, have just listened to this performance about two dozen times side by side with other favorite clips, and although Jubilee Stomp is a very close second, this interpretation of Tom Cat Blues emerges as my very favorite. The intricate way the three lead instruments interweave their riffs into a tight whole that is mathematically perfect and yet soulfully free -- where have I heard anything like that outside of the music of Bach? If anybody thinks polyphony died in 1750, send 'em here! Shaye and company, I think putting your playing in the same league as Bach's music says everything I can say -- and it's true! Judges, give 'em the gold cup.

[@user-yu8cg7lz2h]

The English Clarinet player is pretty good as well.but then again us Brits have been playing Trad and New Orleans for many Decades.This group just happens to have a woman on board

[@danielschechter8130]

@@alfching2499 Tuba Skinny doesn't "just happen" to have a woman on board. Shaye is the leader and the center that holds the whole group together and makes it what it is. Without Shaye there would be no Tuba Skinny.

[@MarkBlairs-Stooge-Channel]

So good! Shaye's cornet work is top notch on this one. The rest of the crew are firing on all cylinders as well.

[@danmarcusart]

I was born in New Orleans and lived there the first 35 years of my life, 15 years of which were in the French Quarter. I am al fine artist living only 65 miles away in Gulfport Mississippi but several professional obligations prevent me from visiting New Orleans on a regular basis. I can only state that when I listen to this band perform I feel like I am right there in front of them. They remind me of the days when I was a teenager and would walk to the French Quarter just to lean against a lamp post and listen to the live jazz music being played. Through their music, this band generously shares the true heart, soul, and essence of New Orleans.

[@nordicsky]

Thanks for posting another joyous performance by this wonderful band. I particularly liked Shaye Cohn's cornet, she is an amazing musician.

Wow! What a fabulous performance, and a wonderful video - great picture and sound. And my favorite musicians. Thank you for this.

How did Shaye become so proficient on the cornet after so long as a classically trained pianist? I suspect it's just in her, a legacy of her father's greatness as a Jazz musician.

[@ivanhajncl8833]

What Rot. Musical proficiency on any given instrument requires practice by the individual on that particular instrument. Not having a forebear who practiced on another instrument for you.

[@ikarus342000]

At last Shaye a bit in the front. I follow Tuba Skinny for some years and it is a pleasure how Shaye leads the band in her subtle way and plays her old cornet. By the way she is also a great piano player.
