@@elizabethsnyder_baldonado39 Beautiful. There were 127 nincompoops who gave a thumbs down. Well, half the people are below average and some of them showed up here.
i have a hard time blowing my nose in cold weather, let alone a sax, a coronet, a clarinet or tuba. they are the best. oh, and the trombone player. the dog was smart enough to stay inside, i guess.
Good comment. In some ways, this is both poignant and comic. Todd strides out in his greatcoat over a V-necked tee-shirt and scarf then plays a great line until he jumps up as a car honks at the band. Even though they're all freezing, Greg sits laughing as Craig (from Seattle), who normally can't get a note out when it's cold, plays a great solo that's in tune and not pinched. And Jon Doyle, another northwesterner, plays a leisurely and touching solo, wearing a tee-shirt and zip-up sweatshirt. As Bill Edwards says below, these are not mere mortals.
I have just discovered this great, young, jazz preservation group about a week ago, and I have a word of warning to anyone who sees and hears just one, Tuba Skinny CZcams video. The warning is, you can't turn it off because it's extremely addictive.
Welcome to the Tuba Skinny fan club. My addiction started over 4 years ago and shows no signs of abating. You might as well subscribe to my channel so you can get your regular Tuba Skinny fix.
@@JamesSterling the first time I saw one of your TS videos, I popped on the subscription immediately. Thank you for keeping it alive on CZcams, because if I had not run into yours and possibly others, I would not have known about them. I have forwarded and shared your videos to some of my old jazz band members, who are still alive, that I have played with here in Ms., and they are agreeing with me 100%. Keep up the great work and thanks again James.
@@williamfulgham2010 You are welcome William and thanks for subscribing and passing on the word. I don't know what part of Mississippi you are from, but do you know Ron Welch of Jackson? He plays banjo in a trad jazz band there and is Russell Welch's dad.
@@JamesSterling yes James, I have heard them, but I do not know them personally. Unfortunately, I have become disconnected from any active groups for at least 50 years, after my college days when my Penzel Mueller B-flat clarinet crapped out on me and I had become a radio Broadcast Engineer and never picked it up again. After my addiction was energized just about 1 week ago, my mind has gone back to my high school and college days, and thanks to you for the videos, I'm seriously considering at least a replacement instrument off of eBay or somewhere, just for my own personal satisfaction. I own two radio stations currently and occasionally get to NO for a convention or something, and now I will be reliving my youthful experiences, at least in my head, the next time I get there.
Most people turn their noses up at this music, at this sound. But, if you close your eyes, they are time-travellers from the 1920's sent here to calm our souls. No one does this...only "Tuba Skinny!"
Not sure why 22 people didn't like this. I can't understand. This is some wonderful music by super musicians. I am so glad I happened upon this. Here's to listening to more of TS!!!!! Play on kids. I'm in.
several reasons, who are you to direct peoples opinions and taste, remember diversity, individuality, not everyone likes the mona lisa, cats elephants, grass cabbage soup, silk velvet.....get my drift
Oh my ... too beautiful and nostalgic not to comment on. (Born in '41, I grew up hearing this during WWII tho' it's from WWI .. on the radio, before tv.) (Saving to re-post on the soon to be launched 'Tuba Skinny coming to Philly' event page - Aug. 30.) (At least 10 people left tips .. and 1/2 appeared to be under 50.)
I guess it is a good thing I don't live in N'orleans. I'd be out everyday looking for them. First time I've seen them bundled up. Sounding good as always in hats, coats and gloves.
This shows true dedication. It might be called "Freezing Your Ass Off in Ab." Always nice to have a sax in the cold. Despite the weather, it's a fine performance. Love the headgear.
@@jlongfellow6877 I'd totally forgotten this comment and was surprised to see you show up in my Gmail notifications. But yes, that's a great response, DC and an 18th C magistrate's wig. Since I specialized in 18th C lit, I consider this a witty and literate response. Nice to hear from a Longfellow! And it's fun to see that over time, comments take on a life of their own. I still think about responding to comments from more than a year ago. Esp on James' great videos.
This would make a fantastic black & white photograph, the player’s in their cold weather outfits looks like a giant step back to the Great Depression era. Absolute ripper, to use an Australian expression to say how good this group is. In the 1950’s I had a skiffle group during my RAF medics posting in Germany, trad jazz and skiffle was all the rage back the. This magic group take me back to a wonderful early part of my life. 👍🎼🎺🎷🇬🇧🇦🇺🦘🔭
Shevill,reading your response re the "Till we meet again' number. I too was in the RAF 1955 At the time. Skiffle, Ken Colyer and the Crane River Jazz Band were played on radio, I was lucky enough to see/hear them live. the song eluded me then, I wanted more info about it, no Computers those days, dragging around the Jazz/Skiffle clubs of those wonderful days remains in my mind sixty plus year after. I had my Own band, 'aka' San Jacinto Hot Stompers when in the mob, ended up playing Rock since skiffle and New Orleans jazz sadly died out to be replaced by tuneless moronic Chants and electronic Drums/Organs'pretend piano's etc. still we are able to look back and THANK those amazing Jazz Musicians.Absolutely Bonzer mate.!

@@terryofford4977 Hi, I could not agree more with you. Take away the flashing lights, pyrotechnics and all the other visual effects, and today's bands/groups would sound even worse. Played clarinet for many years in concert bands and had my own small group of band members who got together and played the good old time trad jazz tunes. Now 83 and have to settle for my Yamaha Arranger KB which I play most nights. Ex Leeds, been in Tasmania since 1968, great lifestyle, no virus, clean air and all the sunight we could wish for. Take Care. Shevill Mathers Southern Cross Observatory- Tasmania 42 South.
Absolutely wonderful! Keep on keeping on you guys!! It would be a sad day if you were no more. You have an awesome presence and the best in mixing and matching . . . Awesome!
This is a truly moment that I hope the band will capture....Such a great song to be performing at the moment also....Speaking of the moment more that they will remember in the future....Equally with the song which I understand so much....
Two special moments here. Jonathon's tender solo brings calls up tears. Then when a passing car honks a hello, Shaye raises fingers to return the greeting . . . while playing a sweet solo!
Magical solo by Jon Doyle! The entire song was lovely, played with tenderness and emotion. This is the highlight of my day, but I would love to be able to hear Mr. Doyle more often. Thank you, James!!!
I wish I had not looked at this video! I am sitting here in the UK, with no heating ( central heating pump failure) and this made me feel even colder.

Four more weeks to go, and I will be walking the streets of the French Quarter once again for the 2019 FQF.
Sorry Malcolm; I used to be in the HVAC business and those Heat Pumps allways break down in the coldest part of winter. Hope when you listen to some Hot Jazz it'll do some good. At least I live in Texas.
@@bobboscarato1313 ...Thanks Bob, heating now running perfectly, and the warmer weather has started to appear. I will be over for the FQF in April, so I wil ask Shaye to play this one again live. Best wishes from the UK.
You are professional the sound is authentic to my ear when I listened to the real old records, the sound was distorted by the scratch of the bamboo needle jumping, Now I can hear it all.
I made that trip especially because I knew that Jon Doyle would be in town playing with Kris Tokarski and I hoped to hear Jon play again with Tuba Skinny. This Monday busking performance was the only occasion he had to play with them this trip so I stayed over until Monday so I could be there.
Yes it looks like a Conn New Wonder. You may know this, but the sax per se is at most a small component in making that mellow sound. A mouthpiece with a large chamber and low, straight baffle is essential. The player may further damp the overtones by cushioning the reed with lots lower lip.
Yes I agree, there is a certain type of rare musician that can hear something one time, or read sheet music one time and never have to hear it or read it again. After that, you just play it and never have to think about it.
The essence of jazz is improvisation. They're not remembering anything. They're making it up as they go. Which is even more impressive than if they remembered it all. Classical soloists remember longer, more involved musical pieces. Great jazz musicians invent their music new every time they play it.
@@danielschechter8130 No, they aren't inventing it anew; if they were, we wouldn't recognize the tunes from song to song. What makes musical improvisation possible is practicing together until they each know what the other is going to do when it's their turn.
A fine old song, which I remember as the closing theme of the Don Messer radio/TV shows. (You gotta be a Canuck to know about that.) Never heard if done as a jazz number before and clicked "play" with some nervousness, but it's very fine. Well done!
Patricia Hammond has a nice vocal with piano acompaniment and audience sing along version which references the importance of the tune as the Don Messer theme.
I fell in love with tuba skinny the first time I heard them - real musicians - pure sound - real dedications - just love you - thank you...
So did I !! 💓
Me too.

Love them
These are not real people, mere mortals can not do this. FANTASTIC

Tough troupers. Great music in any weather. Soulful, deliberate and masterful. Even in the cold it’s hot Jazz.
Real good
Love that vintage sound from Mr. Doyle's tenor. Looks like an old Conn New Wonder, circa 1920's. Thanks for getting this posted!
If so, it is about the same vintage as the song - 1918. The movies came much later.
I made that trip especially because I knew that Jon Doyle would be in town playing with Kris Tokarski and I hoped to hear Jon play again with Tuba Skinny. This Monday busking performance was the only occasion he had to play with them this trip so I stayed over until Monday so I could be there.
@@JamesSterling I love their 4-horn lineup and Jon is the best to ever fill that 4th chair!
Yes it looks like a Conn New Wonder. You may know this, but the sax per se is at most a small component in making that mellow sound. A mouthpiece with a large chamber and low, straight baffle is essential. The player may further damp the overtones by cushioning the reed with lots lower lip.
Thanks for the effort!
Wow, Mr Doyle! Bravo
What a repertoire! How do they remember all those tunes without some sheet music to remind them?? Bloody clever!! Great music.
When you learn music like this you never really forget.
Yes I agree, there is a certain type of rare musician that can hear something one time, or read sheet music one time and never have to hear it or read it again. After that, you just play it and never have to think about it.
