If you would like the title of this 12-bar blues, it is 'Wee Midnight Hours', as recorded by Blind Willie McTell and Curley Weaver in 1950. However, it dates back in its original form to Leroy Carr, who recorded 'Midnight Hour Blues' in 1932. (See the excellent comment by reprobatemind below.) Tuba Skinny impressively keep the original key of E. I guess most jazz bands would make it easier for themselves by playing it in F.
It was in the wee midnight hours, long just about the break of day, of day, of day It was in the wee midnight hours, long just about the break of day, of day, of day Say when them blues creep down on you and carry your mind away, away, away Tell me blues why do you worry, why do you stay with me so long, so long, so long Blues why do you worry, why do you stay with me so long, so long, so long You came to me yesterday and stay with me all night long, so long, so long Now has your mind been a-rambling back to those days of long ago, ago, ago Has your mind been a-rambling back to those days of long ago, ago, ago Back to the one that you love but you don't worry no more, no more, no more I went down to the graveyard fell down on my knees, my bended knees I went down to the graveyard fell down on my knees, my knees, my knees I asked the Good Lord above give me back my rider please, Lord have mercy on me
After Erika and Greg's a capella duet was complet and they melded back into the band - I cried. I don't think any music or performance's done that to me quite like that before.
Diese wunderbare Musik lässt bei mir Tränen über Tränen fließen. Denn erst vor kurzem ist meine über alles geliebte Ehefrau Gudrun nach 60 wunderbaren Jahren gestorben. Trauer und Trost liegen im menschlichen Leben oft nahe beieinander. Ganz herzlichen Dank an Euch alle, Tuba Skinny, an Shaye, Erika, Greg und all die anderen großartigen Musiker Eurer einzigartigen Band!❤❤❤
Un moment rare et délicieux ! Le duo parfait de chanteur et le frisson qu'il procure quand ils chantent a cappella est un vrai bonheur ! Quant au solo de clarinette , il est juste envoutant ! Vive la Nouvelle Orleans , son jazz éternel et Tuba Skinny pour continuer la tradition , quel plaisir ! un grand MERCI
Rarely ever to see such unselfishness among such talented artists who obviously respect one another and thoroughly enjoy what the sum of their notes produces; for themselves and those listening. They seemingly simply DON'T take themselves too seriously.
@@jackjeannettewalker7868 I absolutely agree, their selflessness and respect for one another can be seen in their demeanour and heard in their beautiful music.
I can't agree more. You see Shay say something to him after he is done. I imagine it was something that reflects all our opinions in this comment section.
I love the pleasure these guys give to and inspire in the dancers. I was spellbound by the couple of women on the right, having a good time, and really feeling it. Makes you wish you were there.
A new number to me, but hard to imagine it done better. Thank you all for playing, the dancers for dancing, Pierre for posting, the great French audience and Pops for the added stuff. What a joy.
It is a beautiful arrangement and the musicianship is superb. The clarinet solo is particularly beautiful as you noted. If you look at Shaye just after that solo it appears that she thanks him for his wonderful solo
What a lovely performance! TS made a lot of people happy with that, especially those 4 ladies dancing so gracefully. Look at their smiling faces and how the couple on the far left embrace at the end, Blues didn't creep on them. Just beautiful. Love that clarinet solo, amazing. Thank you, TS!!
@anticala I don't no. But it is the same as you heard or See something what you like and then your skin and your hair on your arm 'erect'. We call it goosebumps. Use google translate.
How lucky were Frenchies who were able to attend one of the concerts of the Tuba Skinny tour in France last May. Unfortunately, my health did not allow it and I was very frustrated. Fortunately, there are these wonderful videos on TH-cam, recorded in France and elsewhere! This blues interpreted with the heart - like all the pieces of TS - particularly moves me! Thanks a lot.
I am so proud of this band! And look at them signing their autographs! All their hard work is paying off. I found them right here on TH-cam and have bought every cd they’ve ever made. Very high quality jazz from right there in NOLA.
Ich liebe dieses Stück, ich liebe diese Band, ich liebe Erika, ich liebe Greg und natürlich Shane, die großartige Shane. Ich liebe Euch alle. I love this piece, I love this band, I love Erika, I love Greg and of course Shane, the great Shane. I love you all.
Parabéns Shaye Cohn. Parabéns Tuba Skinny. Vocês alegram nossas vidas. Nos dão novo ânimo de viver. Deus os abençoe grandemente pelo seu trabalho.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Tuba Skinny. Always such a pleasure to watch and listen to. I have to wonder, though, if the band invited the audience to dance in front of the stage. I doubt it. After all, it appears to be a theater arrangement. Had I been in that audience I would not have been particularly happy. I've seen this happen before and I find it highly inconsiderate of people who interject themselves into the program and start dancing in front of the stage. It's not a dance floor. The audience came to see the bands performance, not yours. Do everyone else a solid, enjoy the program as intended and stay in your seats. Now pardon me as I jump off the soapbox.
Super band! Part of magic is the beauty of the chords. Many bands miss this by trying to race to the end of the piece. SK does everything right! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!
Merci à vous d avoir filmer ces superbes moments. Nous avons vraiment de la chance de suivre Tuba Skinny dans leur tournée grâce à vous et quelques autres. (En plus des dizaines de vidéos chez eux à la Nouvelle Orleans). Superbe moment 👍👍👍
Merci Pierre pour ta vidéo,je suis ravi à un point inimaginable, tu a filmé mon épouse qui a fait dédicacer l'album que j'avais monté,avec les huit photos des musiciens et d'Erika, car j'avais des béquilles et ne pouvais pas trop bouger, crainte de me faire bousculer. ce fut un moment inoubliable, 2 rappels c'est super. Merci merci à toi. J'adore TUBA SKINNY, je pense avoir quelques 300 morceaux de leur répertoire que j'écoute en boucle,ha!!!! Si je pouvais aller à ma nouvelle orléans. Merci

Say when them blues creep down on you and carry your mind away, away, away
Tell me blues why do you worry, why do you stay with me so long, so long, so long
Blues why do you worry, why do you stay with me so long, so long, so long
You came to me yesterday and stay with me all night long, so long, so long
Now has your mind been a-rambling back to those days of long ago, ago, ago
Has your mind been a-rambling back to those days of long ago, ago, ago
Back to the one that you love but you don't worry no more, no more, no more
I went down to the graveyard fell down on my knees, my bended knees
I went down to the graveyard fell down on my knees, my knees, my knees
I asked the Good Lord above give me back my rider please, Lord have mercy on me
It’s actually credited to Leroy Carr who recorded it with Scrapper Blackwell as Midnight Hour Blues in March of 1932.
Thanks so much for this further piece of information.
When an instrumentalist has attained that level, keys don't matter. It becomes like singing. Singers just sing. Players just play.
After Erika and Greg's a capella duet was complet and they melded back into the band - I cried.
I don't think any music or performance's done that to me quite like that before.
I could listen to Tuba Skinny 24/7 if I didn’t need a little sleep now and then! ❤️❤️❤️this extremely talented group of musicians!
Tuba Skinny is the greatest Jazz Band.....................Ever!!!!!
It's come to a point where I end up watching this performance a few times every night.....everything's just perfect about this.

I repeat myself, and I still can't explain it, but when I see Shaye Cohn smile, it makes me so happy. Thanks.
She is the granddaughter of the late Al Cohn (Zoot Sims and Al Cohn) but she never heard him play,
The tuba player is awesome in this tune,the entire group is awesome.
2021 new years TV was terrible. I watched this song instead. Tuba Skinny should have been on Nationwide TV. They are the best!!!!!
Absolutely marvellous. The whole band compliment each other so brilliantly. True masters everyone.
I owe you all so much.
Un moment rare et délicieux ! Le duo parfait de chanteur et le frisson qu'il procure quand ils chantent a cappella est un vrai bonheur !
Quant au solo de clarinette , il est juste envoutant ! Vive la Nouvelle Orleans , son jazz éternel et Tuba Skinny pour continuer la tradition , quel plaisir ! un grand MERCI
What a wonderful band. I listen every evening. No other band comes even close. Erika and Greg represent a perfect duo
Me too...addicted in a good way 👍🤗
Wow! More duets by Greg and Erika, please! What a sound!
quel bon moment ! merci !
These musicians have a very special gift. They never fail to uplift me when I feel tired.

This is by far the BEST performance by TS ever.. pulls at the heart strings like no other....
I’m glad I found this site never seen so much talent
Clarinet solo, the best I ever heard, beautiful and georgues
yes!
Agreed
wow what a feeling
I can't agree more. You see Shay say something to him after he is done. I imagine it was something that reflects all our opinions in this comment section.
Shirley bassy
I just love the sound of Todd’s tuba holding this song up, start to finish
Le passage A capella est superbe. Merci Tuba Skinny ! 💗
Love you Erika, greetings from México!
I love the pleasure these guys give to and inspire in the dancers. I was spellbound by the couple of women on the right, having a good time, and really feeling it. Makes you wish you were there.
Yes. Those two were enjoying the moment. And the blond-haired lady was captivating.
A new number to me, but hard to imagine it done better. Thank you all for playing, the dancers for dancing, Pierre for posting, the great French audience and Pops for the added stuff. What a joy.
Man, I love this piece.Tuba Skinny is my go to band in the morning
LOVE YOU GUYS , YOU MAKE MY DAY WHILE THE WORLD GOES TO HELL .
Mike S => Did you already know about Corona two months ago?

Bravo Eric, bravo Greg, Bravo Mr. Clarinet!
Hard to beat these guys. Has transformed my listening to music.
Lord, That was Great!
I've watched this great band perform dozens of songs over the last couple of years, but I think that was the best. Perfect!
This is the best arrangement that ST have produced so far,I particularly like the clarinet solo which is so hauntingly beautiful.
It is a beautiful arrangement and the musicianship is superb. The clarinet solo is particularly beautiful as you noted. If you look at Shaye just after that solo it appears that she thanks him for his wonderful solo
I keep coming back to this. I think that this is probably the best thing I've ever heard. Just beautiful.
the same for me, its the song i listen to before going to bed, every day, every day, every day
@@simon160 I keep coming back to this!
Me too.. Pure art. The people dancing give it true value as well.
It IS beautiful, isn't it?
Wonderful acapella Erika & Greg. Beautiful ❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️

Beautiful harmonies on the vocals.
And Craigs clarinet solo near the end was also so very very fine
Lovely duet and dancers. And the ts band is so soothing.
What a lovely performance! TS made a lot of people happy with that, especially those 4 ladies dancing so gracefully. Look at their smiling faces and how the couple on the far left embrace at the end, Blues didn't creep on them. Just beautiful. Love that clarinet solo, amazing. Thank you, TS!!
Wow what a tremendous song, one of their best. Absolutely love it. And Erica and Greg should do a lot more duets.
I love this song and Tuba Skinny whatever they play!!! Thank you for sharing!
The best use of TH-cam, to capture the atmosphere of this great band at a live concert. What an audience reaction!
Ich habe es jetzt viermal gehört und kann nicht genug davon bekommen.
Could Robin look anymore relaxed? Love his playing on the washboard and drums also his attitude is so pleasant.
So beautiful. ............
Erika and Greg sing it with so much feeling it gives me goosebumbs.
goosebumps ! En français : La chair de poule !
In German : Gänsehaut !
In Dutch : kippenvel
In Afrikaans: hoendervleis !
@anticala I don't no.
But it is the same as you heard or See something what you like and then your skin and your hair on your arm 'erect'. We call it goosebumps. Use google translate.

Gotta dig the versatility displayed here by this band. Real nice solo by Shaye, and also by Craig "Woody Allen" Flory (please forgive me, Craig).
WATCHED A HUNDRED TIMES ! LOVE IT !
ONE OF THEIR BEST SONGS EVER !
DANCERS SHOULD LISTEN TO THE WORDS ! LOVE THIS TAKE !
Erika's back, and better than ever! And smiling too!

Two great distinctive jazz voices in harmony. Hope to see them again on Royal Street.
Super band! Part of magic is the beauty of the chords. Many bands miss this by trying to race to the end of the piece. SK does everything right! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always loved that tune
Nice job y’all
Wonderful duet !
Oh que c'est beau, merci...
Again! Tops! The arrangements, the individual parts all added together, the solos . . . . All tops!! You are a great band!!
