- Bob Boilen | February 28, 2017 - They're simply an abundance of euphoria. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band blasted the Tiny Desk with a Sousaphone, trumpets, saxophones, guitar and drums, at stunning volume, for a joyful celebration.
This band has been mixing be-bop and funk for 40 years. Around this time of year, when Mardi Gras revelry is fueled by New Orleans jazz, it was so good to feel their sounds in the office. Since today is Fat Tuesday - just before Lent and its fasts begin for some - we are sharing the party we hosted, filled with brass and sass from this fixture of great American music. Enjoy.
Funeral For A Friend is available now:

New Orleans should be preserved as an historical site in the history of American music. It is part of the backbone in American music and its historical importance can not be overstated.
Amen! I believe it's the Heart and Soul of American music -- birthplace of Jazz, Blues, R&B
@SusanCain, speak that truth.
I would say for all humanity to highlight.
Nola. Is. The. Best. Place. Ever. If. You. Want/Need. Good. Music. Period.
New Orleans is the reason America has a music to call its own " Jazz"!
look at the feller on drums "I'm gunna wear this big sweater because I don't plan on breaking a sweat"
so chilled
Jazz drummers usually don’t. Drumming doesn’t need to have a lot of energy, this guy proves it
@@benjamenemery3260 I have a drummer friend - plays a lot of jazz - he's more relaxed than this guy even
Ha! Yes, I was thinking exactly that! He looks very much in control...and what a solo! Love it.
Lets go. Who's down for DDBB first weekend jazz fest 2024. Get it
And here's to hoping they run it back with wsp
The real MVP of this band is the guy in the back playing the sousaphon, those basslines are AMAZING...
Kirk Joseph one of the best to ever do it!
I have always liked the bari sax part of their sound as well.
To my ears, 1/2 of the sound is the tuba/bari sound on the bottom of it all
*BRASSLINES
Correct
face-melting drum solo from the guy who looks like he's strolling in the park
Julian Addison is the man!
Yeah he just changes time signature so easily
The bari sax player is the man. Guys that play like him are rare... give that man a raise
Roger Lewis
He’s doing ok. Not any better than anyone else.
Word up!
Summer of 2023 and we here 💋
You know that feeling of being consumed by debt and all of the stress life throws at you. I just turned this on and danced by myself and all of my troubles don't seem as suffocating as they did before. This music is magical guys!
Same❤
The way the tuba player is rockin that bass line like a jazz bass guitar is just amazing!! Brilliant band! 👍😀
The Mundane Music Archive its a sousaphone dude
Yea !!! and the drummer plays so perfectly and so EFFORTLESSLY !! Hell ..they ALL DO !! AMAZING BAND !!
the legendary Kirk Joseph on sousaphone
Sousaphone player. #notatuba
@@revspook a sousaphone is a type of tuba so you can call it by both names
As a Japanese, I'm proud that Ken Niimura is participating in such a wonderful band with a guitar.
Not a Japanese...but got the same msg from Ken. N.
Ken Niimura is great, but why do you get credit?
Originally I liked this band and found this TH-cam
@@atsushiriver8932 As an American Chicano, I am proud that Ken Niimura is participating in such a wonderful American band. 👍
Just an average white dude ,proud that Ken Niimura is playing in this amazing band!!
that drummer plays so smoothly
like a metronome !!!
NOLA school!!
And open not cross over ..
I came to this video from Moon Hooch's video... Can't think of 2 more radically different styles but both are amazing
Most underrated bass factory of all time...That tuba, mic'd right, sounds really phenomenal.
Is nice to see "Bleeding Gums Murphy" alive again.
It's the NYC Nat'l Anthem... LIVE! From New York CITY!
If you play it now
The Sousaphone is the most important and hardest working instrument in the brass bands. This guy rocks!
Holy smokes! The guy on the sousaphone plays those base lines with some ferocious speed. What a great band!
these tiny desk concerts are life changing
FYI if you have ROKU...there is a Tiny Desk Channel. (maybe other streamers also?)
angelina chai Definitely!!!
just discovered it 2020... thanks corona virus for bringing me here : P
Especially NOW!!!!
Right on!! So many bands I wouldn't ever even considered are now in my regular rotation.
the way the guitar peeks through from the bottom of the sound is so satisfying
I freaking love brass bands. One of America's greatest fine art treasures.
thanks for the good vibes and all the positive consequences resulting from the good vibes!
Went to NOLA a few years back and the music in clubs and on street corners was AMAZING!! We ended each night in the same club for some Zydeco. Believe me when I say, this music is good for the soul.
hats off to the soundman, this sounds great on my phone. that can't have been easy...
#true
I've said the same thing on a few of these NPR Tiny Desk Concerts. Big shout out to the sound crew...excellent job guys!
I'm sure the confined space and all the books in the room make their jobs a whole lot easier. The room acoustics are perfect for live performances.
@@arnoldlane68 Specially when you have so many loud instruments, covering whole frequency ranges from very low (tuba) to very high (trumpets). Tricky job!
Arnold Lane njjj'hh
Its rare to find music videos with this quality
If their playing doesn't put a smile on your face I don't know what will.
Quarantine with the Tiny Desk Concert series is like heaven. Thank you!
Magic tuba player!!! So groovy! It seems like any bass guitar players should take lessons from this guy!)))
My God That drummer is so clean and absolutely grooves. The reverse traditional grip is pretty wild as well. Hands for days!
Impossible not to feel the deep groove during the drummer's solo at 6:25 and the chords that come right after man
Amazingly clean, nobody stepped on nobody's toes-lots of space even the rhythm guitarist had his own groove going on in between everybody. Just goes to you don't have to be loud or a show-off if you play within the music-although there are times when you have to fire up a dead audience. This wasn't that time. These guys are good, they are pros. I love it.
Norway salutes this :)
That is one smooth drummer, sounding like that, in a sweater & tie, and yet not breaking a sweat.
This one never gets old no matter how many time I watch it.
dayuuuuuuuum, that drum solo! but whole band too!!!
The 237 👎 have no 💙💜💚🧡💛💓 - and no SOUL! Thank you, Dirty Dozen and NPR for making my Friday afternoon bright.
Never saw this till today.
This simply Delicious, and Joyful Noise .. did I say Delicious?
Thank you NPR you and TH-cam.
This band is INCREDIBLE
Much love for the Dirty Dozen... shout out to Kirk Joseph for walking that sousaphone badder than any bass line!
Drum & bass.
Bass & drums.
🤯
How good is it 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍
NOLA musicians. best in the world! WWOZ radio station in the WORLD! LOVE YOU DD Brass Band!
Never heard better sound coming out of a trumpet! Incredible!
You should check out Lucky Chops and Too Many Zoos. Incredible trumpeters in both of those bands!
I will never forget the work these guys did on Dave Matthews first solo album 'Some Devil' been a fan ever since, and the music just keeps coming.
Some of the greats here, folks! Had the privilege to see Dirty Dozen live in Seattle a couple years ago, and got to hang out and chat with their incredible tuba player, Kirk Joseph, afterwards. Amazing lineage here, and some of the purest musicianship you'll ever find.
Saw and met them in Syracuse last year. Such down-to-earth and genuine great people, not to mention, first class musicians. They put on one helluva show.
@@kohls16 Agree - these guys are amazingly real...
How many times I have to come back to this video to satisfy my desire and hope to listen to them in person someday!
They gotta give guitar some solos, I can hear him shredding in the background and ooh booyyy
Oh boyyy he can play
i bet he leads a ska band on the sly
This is why America is great, right here
The funk just got serious. My hat is off to whoever is doing the arranging for this group, cause they can write their ass off!
Excellent music that remembers me a little from the best of the 70's bands. Wishing this kind of music comes again.
Amazing.
The Japanese dude plays really well, not to mention the stage presence with the faces he pulls
Kirk Joseph!!!!!!
sousaphon so Rockin! I never seen it so jammin, I have become a better person.... thanks for this!
I had the pleasure to listen to Efrem perform at Jackson Square, NOLA, the other night. I was doing some research on him and found this video. Totally mind blown I was talking to a legend and didn't realize it!
swooning over that handsome drummer.
I'm glad to be able to call Efrem a friend. Love that trumpet.
I wanna congratulate the engineers on a lively balanced sound. I guess those all books at back do a good job!
I've always hated and loved dissonece? Yall killed it!😁😁😁
Perfect Tuesday morning jams
*That sousaphon = perfection .Reminds me The J.B's band.*
You know these guys have played their whole lives
They not playing
I’m bumping mad hard right now
TH-cam's suggested videos of NPR does not disappoint. I always discover great music here.
I saw them on a late night talk show ..Letterman, I think about 30 years ago..... and have been a fan ever since.. Wish someone would upload that performance, cause it was MAGIC !!.
I inherited my grandads trombone 1 week ago and having so much fun learning. Now I am able to jam and this vid has helped me so much. Dancing around the front room learning some melodies. Love it. :)
So much pure happiness. We all need more of this.
Mercy Lord! That drum solo gave me the goosebumps!
6:52 - 8:05 Nasty drum solo😎
If I ever make a Mario-like scroller level, I'm calling these guys
He has got to be one of the most skilled Sousaphone players I have ever heard. Those basslines... er... brasslines are just perfect.
TinyDesk - The Coolest Place on Earth!
Tiny DESK - your sound engineering is magnificent --
They sound like a dozen, but are five brasses plus guitar and drums. Nothing beats the real deal NOLA FUNK!!
man! this drum solo man!!! WHAT A DRUM SOLO!!!!!!
the sousaphone TUBA bass player id incredible the sound is just fabulous !! and also the rest of the band sounds like a real BIG band !!! ohhhh yeaaaaaaah !!!
What a great musicians ! And the way Mr Joseph pulls the bass line with the Sousa is just insane. I’m a Sousa player and I can somewhat tell how much mastery you should have to play like he does.
I didn't read this properly before clicking and for a sec he was like damn D12, eminems former rap group, aged quickly
Hahahahahaha stop it
This video is one of my favorites Tiny Desk Concerts!
Your fantastic!
Brotherly luv 😍😍😍
Wow, I put on some music to bear with a bad work day and I've ended up clapping and dancing in front of the PC. Great mood!!
Smokin hot, the drummer has some chops woah,, and not even breaking a sweat all chill.. All the great music comin out of NOLA as always!
the dirty dozen brass band should not need to ask you to dance. they should just play and your feet should obey.
The second I read your comment I became aware that I was indeed unknowingly shaking my feet while laying down in bed.
Hahahaha true story!
Do you know what it means
To miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong
The feeling's getting stronger
The longer I stay away
These Tiny Desks of brass bands, Trombone Shorty, Allen Toussaint, etc are wonderful -- but also make me long for the day it's safe to travel back to NOLA, see these folks in person, and eat some fine cajun cooking.
One of the best Tiny Desk concert I have heard, I really like it ! it's like canned joy, and the joy is spreading because the box is openned, ya'know w' mean?
I've just recently discovered these tiny desk concerts. These are absolutely amazing. This drummer is absolutely amazing. They all are. But I want to give kudos to the drummer. It's something about open-handed drummers.
They’re the long-time standard. The best way to hear a Nola brass band is on the streets at a second line parade rolling through the neighborhoods on a Sunday afternoon. It’s a moving dance party. See @itchy_world on IG. I think the Dozen started out at second lines but maybe don’t play them now. But they were the first of the modern bands, and there are so many good ones now you can’t go wrong.
more of this musical skillz please
I'm digging that right-hand traditional playing from the set player
FELICITACIONES AL BATERISTAA
tremendous sousaphone!
I aspire to have the level of soul the tuba player has a 21:07, dude is killin it.
outstanding!!! Drum is in Heaven with such a Setup.....and what a B(r)assplayer Sublime..Lovely i'must say!!
this is the best drummer i've ever seen in my life
About my 10th time watching this, and it's still as good as it was the first time. Just really joyful musicians.
My favorite jazz band of all time. Thanks for hosting them, and thanks to the band for cranking out so many goddamned awesome tunes my entire life!
Drummers always make it look so easy but also holy cow that dude playing the sousaphone... Well actually all these guys are freaking amazing.
Oh, I so love these guys. Very first band I heard in New Orleans in 1989... at the Ice House, August, Christmas lights all over the bar. People dancing on the floor. My eyes wide open wondering about fire safety... completely missing the point.
For me, it’s all about the drummer. Next level…
Yess sending strength to Louisiana🙏🏿❤
Du pur bonheur, un band fantastique. Seulement au service de la musique, pas dans le culte de l’image ni de l’ego. Des acteurs qui ont une vie riche derrière eux. Beaucoup, plein de choses à raconter.
Excellent le virage dans le style AfroJazz, façon Sonny Rollins.
Respect where respect is due
All respect to this Masters. "Musica es la vida"
Wow! Tremendous 🎉🎷🎺
Just bookmarking 8:26, what a beautiful sax lick.
This is one of the best Tiny Desks! Man that first song, they just come out swinging hard. It gets better with every listen
