A day without “Tuba Skinny “ is like a day with no sun. I love this crew.
I got that picture. One song turns into 5 or 6!
Yup. Raining here in the Waikato today, but sunny in my head listening to these lot. Appreciate all the effort the band and recorder's do to make life in sucky 2020 so much more bearable.
Totally agree 💐
Ain’t that the truth?
Это лучшая бэнд ,что я слышал в последнее время !
This is the best version - best sound quality, the sax intro is solid, great clarinet support, good vocals from Erika, the band has gotten the entire tune in its fingers. I'm surprised that no-one has commented on the quality and commitment of Shea's cornet playing. She's driving this performance forward, and her playing is spot-on, both in solo and ensemble.
L
Thanks for pointing that out. Shea is a great band leader indeed. And how about those chops on Erika!
I love their music!
Shea’s performance is damned good, alright.
But this is a unified, one piece performance. You can’t take any one of them out of it and make it work like this.
They are all just honkin’. Best I’ve ever seen them.
I'm imagining that it is copyright issues that is the reason this number has never been released on CD?
First time I've seen the washboard prodigy on one of their videos. He's awesome!
This band is just so good!
Whenever I need a quicker upper, Tuba Skinny’s my “go 2”!
When I listen to Olivia Rodrigo I get ads for kids toys. When I listen to Jazz I get ads for senior citizen benefits and dementia assessments. I’m 27, thank you. People under 65 like Jazz.
When i watch trump campaigning, i get ads for viagra
Yah! when i listen to do nnie trump i get ads for adolf H

@Amaranthyne - "When I listen to Jazz I get ads for senior citizen benefits and dementia assessments."
Hilarious!
These targeted adds SUCK!!!!! I get ads for feminine products all the time. LOL,,
Crazy
The tenor sax player has nailed the period tone and style exactly! This is joyous music.
That's the tone Adolphe Sax intended. It's obtained with a large chamber mouthpiece with a high, flat baffle.
Thats the amazing Jonathan Doyle!
My feet won't stop moving... this is the real stuff and these musicians are awesome!
THAT sax is the 1920s sound that very few can replicate.
B Williams amen!
You are right. I listen to a lot of 1920s music. That is a distinct sound that saxophone makes
The sax player must have been born with the sax in his mouth. Must have been painful for his mother though.
Egyptian ella was first recorded in 1933
@@andyb7963 The sound did carry into the 30s until it evolved into the mellow, silky sax sound of the Big Band era.
Banging on the Drum all Day, I heard that in a Song once. Love tuba skinny... Shes a Sweet heart.
Fantastica , great lyrics too:
Ella was a dancing girl who started getting fat,
Every day brought two more pounds to Ella,
Till one day she found she'd lost her job because of that,
Then to make it worse, she lost her fella!
And so she sailed to Egypt to forget,
But she made such a hit that she's there yet!
If you hear of a gal who can shake and quake
Till it makes you think of a nervous snake,
They're speaking of Egyptian Ella!
She weighs two-twenty but they don't care,
They like 'em plenty that way out there,
She has the love of every fella!
She does a dance and when she starts, by the River Nile,
The boys all take their old sweethearts and throw 'em to the crocodiles!
Every sheik in the audience jumps up, and yells that she's immense,
How they love Egyptian Ella!
The boys hang around, but she plainly states
She doesn't care a fig about dates,
And they can't make Egyptian Ella!
A sheik tried to kidnap her once, I'm told,
But she shook so much that he lost his hold,
He couldn't take Egyptian Ella!
So the Pasha wrote her a royal note with his royal fist,
It said because of the dance she does, she's on his royal waiting list,
And that's how fame of a diff'rent sort
Has come at last from an indoor sport,
To our own Egyptian Ella!
All the other dancers, from the desert to the Nile,
One by one admit that they are jealous,
For although they dance each night and wear their sweetest smile,
Ella's tent's the one that draws the fellas!
And yet her dance is something they can't steal,
For nothing else could do it but an eel!
If you see a girl with two big hips just like the rudders on two big ships
You’re looking at Egyptian Ella
With
eyes of passion that blink and stare, a disposition that's almost there
You can bet upon that Dardanella
She does a flip and then a flap and seems to have the knack
last night she flip flapped from the mat and very nearly broke her back
If you want to know why men by scores have given up kilts and wear plus fours,
Blame it on Egyptian Ella!
Simply the best at their craft.
I’m 14 and this style of music is absolutely spectacular!! It’s something anyone of any age can enjoy- listening or playing. As a pianist, jazz is a style I’ve always adored and I try to learn more jazz pieces because they just have this special feel and they just give you joy to play.
✨🤍⚜️🤍✨
Keep playing kid and spread the sunshine! 😀👍
Learn Lindy Hop, Balboa, Shag and Charleston: you won't regret it.
Je les ai découverts il y a moins d'un an , c'est un vrai plaisir les voir et bien sûr de les écouter.😮
I'm so happy to hear that it's very rare that someone your age actually can appreciate good music
Ici pas paillettes !!! de la musique et rien d' autre , de veritable Artistes!!! Quel musiciens !!! Bravo a tous ❤❤❤❤
Bliss. Thank you.
just an absolute DEELIGHT watching this band!!
These guys are consistent in producing great music, it is hard to not like most of their numbers.
Eventually the entire population of New Orleans appears in Tuba Skinny videos
this band and this music is absolutely fantastic! 👌🤩
Love! Love! Love!!! Tuba Skinny!!! xo
I am 16 years old and gosh does this give me the chills. This is A R T. God bless everyone watching this during the Covid Pandemic. ❤️
@@huyphan2005 Wow take a chill pill. Sevvy is just saying even a teen can appreciate old style music such as this. If you don't give a fuck, why answer the comment?
I thought your answer was very thoughtful and articulate. I’ll bet you read a lot. Don’t let internet haters get you down. I agree with you and hope you have a Blessed Day.
You are wise beyond your years!
@@huyphan2005 You can fuck off, Huy-phooey! (Or, maybe I should say: Đồ khốn kiếp!) Yes, we DO care about young people getting into trad jazz! The more young people who learn to like (and play) this music, the better! It's YOUR comment that's a load of bollocks, and you can't even get your English idioms right. Moron!
@@huyphan2005 "stop comment stupid like bollocks" oh the irony.
You ever listened to a pack of Foxhounds, burning up a trail? Tuba Skinny reminds me of my Louisiana childhood. With my dad, Friday night on Bayou Serpent, listening to a chorus of Walker Hounds' voices, each distinctive, yet blending in perfect harmony. Taking turns, pausing, coming together in hair-raising wonder. What a thrill. Fixed on the blending notes bouncing off the cypress trees and calm waters. That's what Tuba Skinny does. They take me back to bayou and a magical time.
Sometimes I just can't breathe. Sound becomes more important than air.
We ran Gray Fox. No guns. No drinking. No animal was ever caught or hurt. All races went to ground or up a tree. The fox would give the dogs the slip when they had had enough fun. Foxhunters run fox just to listen to the hounds.
Tuba Skinny takes me back to the bayou. What a pure sound.
We don’t hear much of this type of music here north of the 49th, but when I came across you guys I was instantly hooked. You guys are great. It’s been a long time since I watched a music video and smiled the whole time. Thank you.
You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Lewis Jake instablaster =)
Tuba Skinny + Sunshine = Heaven.
G-D BLESS TUBA SKINNY. TALENT LIKE THIS, CAN ONLY COME FROM HEAVEN.
@Allen Friedman
Heaven wishes it had music this good!
Where have you Been All My Life,Magnificent
everytime i watch these guys it makes me feel good... thats what musics all about folks..thankyou tuba skinny
This is what has always made New Orleans great! Bravo!
Barnabus' trombone solo is absolutely great.
Never tire of them. Never.
Love the powerful trombone solo by Barnabus
The Clarinetist is on point! - seamless transitions between the registers. This band is awesome.
He's English. I used to see that guy around London all the time. He literally always had a reed instrument in his hand. He has played with EVERYone. So cool to see him pop up in New Orleans doing his thing with other great players.
Yup, that's Ewan Bleach you're talking about, check out his Sax interplay with John Doyle's clarinet in ' Fingering with your Fingers' alongside all the other Tuba Skinny gang. It doesn't get better!
haha yeah I had this playing in the background and my ears perked up when I heard Ewan lol
Tuba player has that beat....
My wife and I enjoy taking the videos. Glad you enjoy watching TS.
Thanks for doing it. I am so appreciating!!! Subbed!!
Nice one brother
Love these Videos Thanks Alexa 2020

The guy on the washboard is great.reminds me of my grandad and his cronies.great stuff.
Louis Armstrong would feel right at home in this ensemble. Man are they good - it doesn't get 'Mo N'awlins' than this.
This has to be one of the best trad bands in the world surely?! Thanks for posting.
Newver mind the 'trad' bit, one of the best bands in the world bar none especially when compared with the 'pop' groups ! These are REAL musicians
check out Gunhild Carling
This IS the very best!
Y€$!!!! TH€¥~`ABSÖU£ÚT€£¥~`ÁR€!!!!!,*,,✨🤍⚜️🤍✨
It was certainly not a great day for filming - in the beginning -, but a really great performance of all members of the band, and a marvellous sound recording. Many thanks to all of you!
Браво! Слушать вас истинное наслаждение!👍👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️
Trad jazz as it should be played,bring it on.
Must be my favourite of all Tuba Skinny . Thank you .
Oh my God! This is great! What a fantastic Dixie Band!! Great tunes! Great interpretations.
What a talent!!
Erica sings it like a horn on this one -- fantastic!
Incredible performance and solos. What impressed me was washboard man giving his best on the humblest of instruments.
Simply can’t get enough of Tuba Skinny, especially the gifted Ewan Bleach and John Doyle 👻👻👻👻👍👍
Great performance!! I can't stop listening to this band. Thanks for sharing!
Daniel Lehner Me too! I don’t know how it appeared on my TH-cam list, I’m very happy you did. I’m just going from one performance to the next!
I grew up with Dixie band music in 1960'/ 70's because of my Dad. Loved it ever since. You guys are so lively and interesting, masters with your instruments. A twinge and a trick with each piece of music. You are great musicians, each segment perfectly directed. Love the dress code as well, sooooo laid back and casual - befitting your style
sheer joy to watch during lock down here in south wales uk
I'm in NZ and have to have my daily dose of TS!
THE BEST DIXIELAND BAND EVER. EVERY ONE OF THE MUSICIANS IS GREAT , AND THEY ALL KNOW HOW TO BLEND TO MAKE THAT WONDERFUL BAND SOUND . THE WIZARD OF THE WASHBOARD REALLY DRIVES THE RYTHM SECTION , AS SHAYE DRIVES THE LEAD SECTION .
CAPS LOCK
@@Squidoinkoo YES
I love You Tuba Skinny.
Thank you 🙏 great 👍 tuba 🎶🎻🎷🎺🎸🪕🥁🎵🎤👍skinny 🎥👍🙏
All these 'Older' Tuba Skinny videos are the best. Old standards are well-played and sung.
Salute from Egypt !! you are a wonderful band , love you Tubaskinny !!
The best version of Egyptian Ella! What rhythm!
Sometimes you wish you could freeze time and transport back to this day at this exact moment on that street in New Orleans and experience this priceless performance ..... WHAT A GREAT JAZZ BAND!!
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Very energising music played by very skilled musicians! Thank you so much for making playing recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.
Glad you enjoyed the TS video.. Thanks for the nice comment.
The tenor sax playing makes this piece what it is! That Arab-style melody plays from start to finish.
I just WISH I could play the sax and clarinet like them.
Been playing over 30 years.
The lyrics convey a touching story.🐪
That washboard player is the best in the world holy cow
I think I'm becoming addicted to Tuba Skinny!
Jeez, Americans with cameras! Shove it in your face, they just walk in front of one another, authorised by possessing the camera. They’d be fighting a lot in the U.K. I can assure you. Not claiming we are better mannered, just that we are less ‘pushy’. Erica is great here, this tune was written for her. Egyptian Ella, I love it. Thank you TS.
They are always in my heart & mind!
I can listen to this every day,
I do, more or less.
Ditto
Same here..makes me happy
This is far removed from the general listening to music of which I own and listen too....Without a doubt though....I will be buying and listening to these guys well before any of you have read this post.
This is absolutely wonderful.
Erika and her drum are something special.
Obviously the bass player is the most talented of the band yet still encourages the other contributors.
Getting slowly drunk and enjoying the skinnys til tears run down my cheeks. Best fun I know .
Oh My Gawd that song kills it
Now THIS is why God created music! Brilliant!
David Gantt nah. the first beat dropped was the big bang
This music was created by Tuba Skinny, although I do think Erika Lewis is a goddess.
I love this song!!!!
And now it's even better with the clarinet and sax!
How good are these guys.
Erika her with that Drum i almost fell over with joy seeing this
This captured a beautiful musical moment just beautiful
Egyptian Ella has to be one of my favourites .
Beautiful rendering by erika and the band too.🥰
Maravillosos, Tuba Skinny, espero que estén por Argentina.
