- A heavenly send-off for a beloved sax player who played with Olympia Brass Band and Preservation Hall Jazz Band, among many others. He mentored and influenced several generations of jazz musicians to ensure the future of the only indigenous musical form that originated in New Orleans and was the ambassador for all that is good about the musical and social traditions we are so proud to share.

When people ask me why I live in New Orleans...with a lil tear in my eye I tell 'em, when you die in most cities, they give you a funeral. In my city, when you die, you get a parade (-;]
that just made me cry
@@slavedartDOTink not really, you have to be someone to get that. BUT what you get in return are a lot of drug addicts on the streets
@@MrHardstylefever im from new New Jersey...i unfortunately know all about that. :( anyone can have a second line funeral Henry!! You can put it in your will!! Lol or your friends and family do it anyway
@@slavedartDOTink Naaah i am from germany, we don't do that stuff here, and i am honestly all against Funerals in terms of carrying my body or burrying it on a graveyard. If i die, just bury me in the woods, after you took out every organ that is still useable, where it is atleast somewhat useful
Zmarły widać był bardzo lubiany ! I to widać !
I love this, I'm from the Carribean and this is how we do it, a celebration of LIFE! Please dance When I'm gone!
Amen, amen Ase'...like David danced😇😇😇🙏🙏🤝🥳🥳🥳😎
I'm going to change my will. I WANT THAT AT MY FUNERAL
Second Line
Can I go 😅
What a beautiful way to say goodbye
The tall guy with the glasses and towel has so much rhythm that I could watch him all day......and I do watch this several times a day. I wish he could know how much he's cheering up an old woman who has no rhythm whatsoever. He's the best, and I so appreciate this wonderful jazz band, and how they celebrate their funerals.
It´s a celebration: to go where the deceased used to go: bars, restaurants, places, Church, so beautiful!
"Just over in the Glory Land,
I'll join the happy angel band...
Just over in the Glory Land.
Just over in the Glory Land,
there with the mighty host I'll stand...
Just over in the Glory Land."

Praise God- Hallelujah!
Bless the African Culture of N.O.
Possibly the greatest funeral tradition to have ever been and ever will be. Thanks for posting this one!
The ancient Egyptians actually did something similar. They'd have a mostly celebratory funeral procession, with two female mourners following the casket representing Isis and Nephtys.
This is just really beautiful! I'm from Washington, DC and I have to say that looking at this is a bit of a culture shock for me because we don't do this at funerals up here. I never seen anything like this especially at a funeral. I also been to New Orleans in June of this year and I was in the French Quarter and all that live jazz music just really spoke to my soul and moved me. Just indescribable. Beautiful music and beautiful city!
The female Grand Marshal is Jennifer Jones and she seems to lead a lot of second lines and jazz funerals around New Orleans. She's everywhere!
As i said before,if only could move like that.....go girl go.
The tall slender Marshal also seems to get around.
Good Lord, how I love this! I wonder if they would come to Southern California. I'll fly them out, per my last wishes.
This reminds me of when the Preservation Hall Band came to our town. They finished with When The Saints Go Marching In as they would coming back from the cemetery. Folks got up and started dancing towards the stage and the guy I was with opened his umbrella and was pumping it up and down in the grand New Orleans style. That really scared one guy dancing around. We ended up on stage behind the band dancing around and very happy. The band had huge grins. One of the best nights of my entire life.
I actually like watching these funerals, they make it something special and well said that they CELEBRATE THE PERSONS LIFE, celebrating their existence on earth, I’m a atheist despite that it soothes me knowing people are happy that someone even existed in the first place
Oh man that was beautiful. I want this kind of funeral
That's the way to go out! With everybody celebrating your life rather than mourning your death.
Amen
JFeezy You are right
Fabio. Actually, that would be "yea you right". God Bless.
Thank you for this. Mama died last night. She would love this.
I'm sorry to hear that. Was she the lady leading the procession...
All funerals should be like this !
Fantastic, guys, just fantastic.
I want this at my funeral, in 50 years. :)
I'd take 49 !
Thanx for that info. She totally rocks and this has become one of my all time faves on TH-cam! You rock!
Love it, my dream...
Love them, I wish they would play when it is my time to leave this earth!
Jennifer Jones words can't describe how absolutely wonderful , watching you dance .I am spellbound.God Bless all of you.thanks so much for the video.
She is amazing,i could watch this woman dance all day,i wish i could move like she does.
thats a region filled with music!!! love it!!
This is how i want to go out.
AMEN!!
New Orleans Jazz Music Funeral Celebrations are the Best. :-))
They play together beautifully! They are a tighter band marching down a street than most bands are standing on a stage! A+ 🤗
I think this is the perfectes way to Celebrate the ive of a died Person. I wish will this Kind at Music in this way at my funeral too... it´s sooo amazing
Who are the 6 idiots who gave this a thumbs down? Thumbs up, great procession. What a great way to celebrate life!
25 people?! Hmm
They are probably these really religious, and traditional gits, who don't think that funerals can be fun, and they have to be sad and depressing. Honestly, that sound like their life
@@mr.shepherdspie7958 Or they're great people with their own opinions. Just like you. So calm down and stop being prejudiced.
Girl with the brolly Fantastic!!
I live in Florida, when I get sent off, I hope its with style. Death is sad, but its important to celebrate the life lived.
Who is the cool lady who leads the parade, I have seen her in some others and she is just da bomb!
Absolutely love this!!!
She’s my fav recebt grand marshall!!
Classic, glorious.
Love the scene at 1:13 with the brotha on the sidewalk. Music is so important to the soul.
I've noticed that, too - she seems to be leading lots of funerals in N.O. in these TH-cam videos! She's probably got some great stories!
Really well done video! I want a jazz funeral when I die, too!
I would love to have a send off like that.
Thanks for taking me home 🤗🍹
Uplifting music. What a send-off!
Instead of tears, you should go out swingin!
That's how I want everyone to come out of the cemetery like when I die! Swingin
That's the way to go out!!!!
Yes, the song is called Over in the Gloryland.
"JUST OVER IN THE GLORYLAND"
If you choose this song on a funeral here in Germany, the priest would probably throw you out of the church, because here, it is known under the title "ja, mir san mitm´Radl da" (Translate: yes, we came her with the bicycle....) not many here know it´s origin title.
But: this is what a funeral should be like, not to be sad about a loss of someone, but to be happy about have known someone like him/her.
Good advise. Think a Scottish Piper playing Amazing Grace would fit into one of the wonderful experiences? Scottish Piper and New Orleans jazz...what a heavenly say to be sent to heaven.
Think all I'll get is a skateboard and tin whistle but hey ho !
I Love I Love I Love New Orleans Jazz Music Funeral Celebrations, I Do, I Do, I Do. :-))
God bless and God rest.... and how can anyone dance in that heat?! Respect all round!
What a way to go
beautiful
Worthy of Doc Watson
This is great. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful Sendoff.
A lot of thanks !
What a way to go. Wish I could have one of these when it's my turn.
Want to say goodbye that way Please!
Thank you.
Yeah baby! That's a band - not just a mess of screaming - everyone is playing for the benefit of the band!
Makes me smile. Love it.
Pure Americana.
This is how I want my funeral to be.
Hell I not only want this kind of send off- I want to dance like that lady at some friends funeral before I kick the bucket.
Undoubtedly the best way to go out
What a way to go!
A Beautiful Tradition.
A wonderful celebration of a persons life!
The man that's screaming oh is my reading teacher he told the class to look up his daddy funeral
Well that sure is the kind of send off I would love to have. My family & friends don't get together often enough. If the last thing I do on this Earth is bring them together to party, I'd like that much better than them weeping over my casket while dreary organ music plays in a funeral home. 😎
Best way to go
Cultura linda de ver...mas se precisa de um morto...vcs não podem deixar isso morrer. Quem se habilita?
Ushering this guy into his eternal sepulcher...in the grandest style!
TALKING ABOUT STRUTTIN’!!
Just finding out about these not from Nola obviously but very cool!
certified hood classic
brilliant
@goofellacarlos89, just because hip hop comes after dixieland and "second line" does not mean that it is derived from them. hip hop comes from rock as much as brothers don't want to admit the fact.
Actually Rock and Roll comes from R&B that was derived from the call and response style music such as this video and African American spirituals. Rock & Roll as a music genre and form is rather nascent only having been created in the 1940's. If you look at the musical form of Hip Hop is more akin to the strong base beats of this kind of music than R&R.
What a sendoff!!!

It's a jazz funeral, as in jazz played at a funeral; not funeral jazz as a type of jazz. Mind the word order.
Rest in peace Doc
👍👍👍
I don’t ever want to live in this city where death is this close to life. Now even the song is ruined for me. Count me out!!!!!!
they really put the fun in funeral
ask and you shall receive.
I dont LIVE in new orleans, but I certainly will die there!
Top 10 cultural phenomena in USA -- N'awlin's jazz funeral.
Three sousaphones. Wow!
would love to book them for my funeral, but I'm not sure I'd be able to pay for it.
excuse I don't know anything about this. so, this kind of music is called "Funeral Jazz" and it is played at the funerals of the people from New Orleans? Can you explain me why they bring umbrellas with them? Is there a reason? thank you, I'm from Italy, this is strange for me :)
In the early 20th century, at the advent of jazz in New Orleans (and in other American cities) the women's styles included long dresses and often used a "parasol" to shade them from the hot sun. A parasol is a light colored umbrella, often decorated, as it is not for rain. A dance called a "Cake Walk" was done by women in this period dress using their parasols. It's a high-stepping dance. An example of Cake Walk and this kind of attire exists in the musical "Hello Dolly" and I think "The Music Man" too. This is the result of a century of development. The "umbrellas" have become celebratory. They sell decorated umbrellas for weddings, other occasions, American football games and other celebrations.
I guess they're putting the fun in funeral
This is how I want to leave this world, with a big ass party🥁🎺🍻
exactly
I'll have a thing on my gravestone sayin "ba Felicia"
What a wonderful way to go. Think of the miserable white funerals! I would love to attend a live funeral like this.
Ronald Strange seriously. this is how I want to go out
I know that's right!!!!
Holy shit, that old lady got some moves.
well said =)
Does this tune have a name???
That's how to bring someone over to the other side! 👍
That's how I'd like to go...fuck yeah
I MEAN THEY JUST ACT THE FOOL ALL THE WAY UP TO THE END!!
Anyone know the name of the tune they're playing?
@ David Paul, AccStor and whoever else asks about the song played. Normally in Traditional New Orleans Jazz Funerals, only hymns are played when the body of the deceased is present and before the body is deposited in the grave. After burial the songs played are secular like "Didn't He Ramble", St. James Infirmary, etc
