- Tuba Skinny and Chris Halpin on bass saxophone.
Thank you to Tuba Skinny for letting me join in on some songs and have fun woodshedding on the bass sax.
at Zinnia's Dinnette in Craryville, NY September 2, 2023
Parents: "How was the Tuba Skinny concert you went to go see?"
Me: "We played great!"
Good to see Ericka back !!
WUNNERFUL WUNNERFUL!!!
By Gosh! I was beginning to think that there were no human beings who lived in New York, but I see I've been wrong. Look at that young daddy and his girl in back!
Great job chris!!
Excellent! I am tempted to say: as usual! Bravo Tuba Skinny!
Always "très bon"
Un plaisir de vous écouter.
You are "craks !
Pretty great sound..Man, I haven't played clarinet since 1968. Craryville has it goin' on!
Hey, another Chris Halpin! I wish I played saxophone or had any musical talent. Amazing videos and I'm enjoying listening to them. Maybe I can pick up drumming like Erika does
It's never too late to start learning an instrument!
outstanding
I just love the bass sax🥰
I Just love the voice of Erika.
Is there any happier music than American Classical Jazz -- Dixieland. I love that you use traditional instruments including cornet instead of trumpet. Louis Armstrong started on cornet. The bass sax is a great addition. However the early jazz bands would never have had one. It was too darn expensive. Even an alto or tenor would have out of the price range of early jazz musicians. As always great music. Thank you.
There were at least three notable bass sax players in the early jazz bands, all starting in 1923. Coleman Hawkins played on in Fletcher Hederson's band. Charlie Johnson played with King Oliver's band, and Adrian Rollini in the Califrornia Ramblers. And there were many bands that used it as a novelty instrument.
Almost all the early reading dance bands used both alto and tenor saxes (most often 2 altos and one tenor). Thanks to the Sears Roebuck catalog, saxes were very affordable during the early jazz age.
@@darz3829 I was thinking of the very early stage of Dixieland Jazz meaning late 19th and early 20th century. This music was begun by black musicians not that long after the Civil War. The instruments chosen were often those available from military bands. Also, I don't believe the Sear's Catalog existed in that very early time of Classical Jazz. I would also suggest that even in the Sear/s Catalog that Saxes were too expensive for many of the early black jazz musicians.
@@garygreen7552 It's generally accepted that jazz was developed in the early 1900s, not soon after the Civil War.. It's also accepted that Buddy Bolden of New Orleans was the seminal figure in developing jazz (confirmed by Bunk Johnson and Louis Armstrong). The earliest photo of Bolden's band is from 1905. Note that the photo shows a cornet (Bolden), valve trombone, two clarinets, a guitar, and string bass. The Sears and Roebuck catalog offered musical instruments by 1890. And newspaper reports from 1913 that the Colored Waifs Home Band had numerous instruments. (that is the band where Louis Armstrong first played music).
yeah Chris
Luvleeee!
Bass sax is a great instrument. For proof, look at the recordings of the wonderful Uptown Lowdown jazz band. But this song is miserably recorded. Although we can hear that Craig and Shaye played good solos, Todd's tuba is nearly inaudible, and the brief solo of the bass sax player can barely be heard.
Guess it's time to upgrade my iPhone7. 🫤
Yes, I think the time has finally come! Using the iPhone 7 now is like continuing to drive an old Chevy II (though I loved it when I had one). But you did get a recording that suggests the value of a bass sax, and I hope your video encourages people to look at Uptown Lowdown and other bands that used or use a bass sax. It's a great instrument, but it's very expensive and a pain to transport. Have a look at this video to see not one, not two, but three bass saxes magically appear and create great music. czcams.com/video/8DzigRQQkN0/video.html. To regain it's mojo, Tuba Skinny should bring back Ewan Bleach or add a bass sax!
