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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!
Sound much more hispanic than what I heard of you in Madrid during the eighties. Good deal then, and now! Always a pleasure, the whole theater moved their feet from start till finish
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.
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 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. :)
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 !!.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

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"!
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
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
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 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
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.
hats off to the soundman, this sounds great on my phone. that can't have been easy...
#true

Arnold Lane njjj'hh
Its rare to find music videos with this quality
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!
The Sousaphone is the most important and hardest working instrument in the brass bands. This guy rocks!
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 guitar peeks through from the bottom of the sound is so satisfying
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!!
Holy smokes! The guy on the sousaphone plays those base lines with some ferocious speed. What a great band!
Perfect Tuesday morning jams
Quarantine with the Tiny Desk Concert series is like heaven. Thank you!
Impossible not to feel the deep groove during the drummer's solo at 6:25 and the chords that come right after man
swooning over that handsome drummer.
This one never gets old no matter how many time I watch it.

@@kohls16 Agree - these guys are amazingly real...
Best dressed drummer I’ve seen in a long time. Very handsome guy, great drummer.
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.
I freaking love brass bands. One of America's greatest fine art treasures.
Amazingly clean, nobody stepped on nobody's toes-lots of space even the rhythm guitarist had his own groove going on in between everybody.

I wanna congratulate the engineers on a lively balanced sound. I guess those all books at back do a good job!
Most underrated bass factory of all time...That tuba, mic'd right, sounds really phenomenal.
I come back to this video at least twice a week. Dirty Dozen are awesome, and the NPR Tiny Desk series does such an amazing job.
How many times I have to come back to this video to satisfy my desire and hope to listen to them in person someday!
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 !!!
Amazing.
The Japanese dude plays really well, not to mention the stage presence with the faces he pulls
Thank you so much 🙏. What an amazing lunchtime nap and wake up dance to your music. Thank you 🌟.
So much pure happiness. We all need more of this.
Mercy Lord! That drum solo gave me the goosebumps!
That is one smooth drummer, sounding like that, in a sweater & tie, and yet not breaking a sweat.
Sound much more hispanic than what I heard of you in Madrid during the eighties. Good deal then, and now! Always a pleasure, the whole theater moved their feet from start till finish
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!
The Trumpet player is my big cousin E.T.
If their playing doesn't put a smile on your face I don't know what will.
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.
This video is one of my favorites Tiny Desk Concerts!
Excellent music that remembers me a little from the best of the 70's bands. Wishing this kind of music comes again.
man! this drum solo man!!! WHAT A DRUM SOLO!!!!!!
Magic tuba player!!! So groovy! It seems like any bass guitar players should take lessons from this guy!)))
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!
Can't stop listening!!! 🎉
Fantastic musicians! Tuba player out of sight!!
Much love for the Dirty Dozen... shout out to Kirk Joseph for walking that sousaphone badder than any bass line!
drum solo = face melting, woooooow!
I'm glad to be able to call Efrem a friend. Love that trumpet.
How can anyone possibly not like this performance
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.
Jazz Fest : A New Orleans Story on the Hulu app brought me here. 🎉🎉🎉❤️🖤💚
Love these guys from the first ten seconds

My God That drummer is so clean and absolutely grooves. The reverse traditional grip is pretty wild as well. Hands for days!
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
You know these guys have played their whole lives
Drum & bass.
Bass & drums.
🤯
How good is it 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍
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 so LOVE this band! raw and fresh music for a perfect start
blast from the past. keep 'em coming...love it
This is why America is great, right here
an unbelievable organization of love, precision and mastery!
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!
Kirk Joseph!!!!!!
sousaphon so Rockin! I never seen it so jammin, I have become a better person.... thanks for this!
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.
Tiny DESK - your sound engineering is magnificent --
outstanding!!! Drum is in Heaven with such a Setup.....and what a B(r)assplayer Sublime..Lovely i'must say!!
About my 10th time watching this, and it's still as good as it was the first time. Just really joyful musicians.
That little baritone sax solo at 20:11 gave me legit goosebumps, well played guys
Their bari sax is my personal favorite part of their sound.
He makes nice use of the pentatonic/blues scale
while hitting juicy chord tones
TH-cam's suggested videos of NPR does not disappoint. I always discover great music here.
this is the best drummer i've ever seen in my life
*That sousaphon = perfection .Reminds me The J.B's band.*
All respect to this Masters. "Musica es la vida"
How can you not smile while watching this?
Brilliant. Especially love the sousaphone player's work.
This is one of the best Tiny Desks! Man that first song, they just come out swinging hard. It gets better with every listen
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.
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.
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!!
the phrasing of the sax here is incredible lotta love
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!
Just bookmarking 8:26, what a beautiful sax lick.
すべての楽器が生きていてとても素晴らしいです！私もいつかこんなに素晴らしい所に居れたら、、
He has got to be one of the most skilled Sousaphone players I have ever heard. Those basslines... er... brasslines are just perfect.
What a drummer, loving is endemble playing AND THAT solo starting at 6:30 is so cool. Amazing. 😊
The sound is totally inspiring. I would love to spend a day working the engineer, learning!
And the band are superb!
What a great band, true Professionals, I really enjoyed listening~Thanks---USA
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
These guys are awesome! I've been listening to them ever since I watched this.
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!
The 237 👎 have no 💙💜💚🧡💛💓 - and no SOUL! Thank you, Dirty Dozen and NPR for making my Friday afternoon bright.
Love this band. I am going to watch for them traveling, and Big Easy has been on my bucket list forever.
If I ever make a Mario-like scroller level, I'm calling these guys
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.
Been in love with DDBB since they were born/formed😍🥰😍🥰😍
They rock the house
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥wherever they land-take that from a #1 fan!
I'm digging that right-hand traditional playing from the set player
I aspire to have the level of soul the tuba player has a 21:07, dude is killin it.
luv these guys! they play well with othe
rs.! refreshing these days!
