I am a tremendous fan of Tuba Skinny I can't get enough, but this one takes the gold medal. I have watched and listened to it many many times yet every time my tears flow like Niagara Falls. They are NOT tears of sadness but tears of joy. I say to the group you have made an 85 year old man feel 25 again. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't know what's wrong with those that thumb downed this video. But watching and listening to this makes me wish I were privileged to be there taking this in in person on such a beautiful day. This is the life!
As a 50 year old male, is it too late and strange to want to be a groupie for these guys? 😬😉 Because I could listen to them all day long and find nothing but peace and contentment! Thank you TS!!!
At 70 I say it is never too late .Son If you have never experienced the French Quarters , the Street performers, Bars and the chaos of New Orleans La. All I ask is What is holding you back ?
I am 81 and still play this kind of stuff. I just wish I could play just the once with Tuba Skinny. It reminds me so much of the mid 1950s when I used to sit in with embryo trad bands drinking scrumpy and smoking Woodbines (under age)!
I am 75 and as we are in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis at the moment I am sat writing out my Last Will and Testament and I too have listed this as one of the tunes to be played at my funeral. A superb band and Erika's rendition of this is spine-tingling. Would love to hear them live but don't think they ever come to the UK.
I am 75 and in lockdown. That term would have meant nothing when you posted this comment. I have listened to this many times and here I am again. God bless you, I hope you are keeping safe.
One of the best versions of "Just a Closer Walk with Thou", if not the best, full of sensitivity. I would very much like it to be played the day I leave for a better world.
Surprised but thrilled to hear Tuba Skinny play this. They tend to avoid the tunes that all the other jazz bands play. But even with this one they have so much to teach us: the tempo, the trombone statement of the theme, the lovely harmonising such as Shaye's in the second Chorus, and Erika's wonderful rubatos - in her 'Owl Call Blues' voice. Never heard it performed better.
In my 75 year love affair with Dixieland Jazz - and any music from NOLA - I don't think I've ever heard a performance better than this one. Wow... is it over already? I wish it were longer. Thanks. Ed
Only just discovered this wonderful, authentic band that is Tuba Skinny! I'm telling all my friends about this music - it is so well played and sung. Shaye and Erika are fantastic, but the strength of the group is their ensemble playing. We must support them through this difficult pandemic, and hope that they with come to play in the UK in 2021. Keep playing Tuba Skinny !! We LOVE it!
I just happened upon this video. Never heard of Tuba Skinny before but immediately I was captivated. Excellent group of musicians. Such a lazy tempo which grabs you and won't let you go.
Given this tune, Barnabus Jones is the winner of the most appropriately dressed Tuba Skinny band member award. I just returned yesterday from the two Hillsdale shows given in New York. The country-side around the Taconic State Parkway leads you to some of the most lovely and well hidden of New York State places. Not since my many years ago trips to New Orleans and the occasions to hear the Neville Brothers have I been happier to stumble upon such wonderful music.
Australia here - thanks a million for "the great American songbook". Whty an amazing culture you have. OK, kudos over.....go.......create more!!!!!! MAGA!
Luxury to be awake in the middle of the night, 5 000 miles away from you (Sweden), and enjoy what you are playing. You are all great. As someone else wrote: "my father would have loved this" but that goes for me as well (I am 67).
Just bloody stunning .. has 'Closer Walk' ever been closer to heaven ? No wonder it's at over 700,000 views. Only Jason Lawrence on 6 string banjo & Robin Rapuzzi on washboard , w/ Todd Burton's tuba backing it, but each a perfect compliment to those glorious horns - Craig Flory, Clarinet - the Shaye Cohn, cornet - smooth Barnabus Jones on tbone. And Erica Lewis lets her heart sing !!! Ten years ago they dreamed they wanted a 'brass band'; five years ago, a sunny day busking in New Orleans.
It is even better being there Alan, especially when we heard this remarkably moving number. Next year I will go to see the Mayor of NOLA personally and ask that the Digitalalexa team is given the Freedom of NOLA for all their fabulous filming - which has probably resulted in thousands of people from around the world being attracted to the city to hear fantastic music such as this! Freedom of NOLA for Tuba Skinny too! All those in favour? Just write to the Mayor and tell him!
I have seen them three times in NOLA and I ran into the band in Germany while they were touring Europe. I wish Shayne would smile more often. She always looks like she is either mad at the world or has an Excedrin headache.
I just recently discovered this amazing group. I feel extremely lucky for having done so. This particular selection always brings on the tears, but they are tears of joy. I am amazed by the people walking by who are completely oblivious to these magnificent performances. There are those who are so mixed up in those daily little messes that they call their lives they can't appreciate anything. They have my sympathy. One more thought, despite the great number of after I was born before she was and almost 2000 miles between us I love Shaye Cohn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@albertmotz9534 And Bessie Smith was singing in that style since before Willie was born. But they all do it oh so well. And I'll bet Erika has some Bessie Smith recordings!
The singer is beautiful but when she smiles (not often enough) she is just radiant! Yes yes she is. Please smile more often and my heart will absolutely melt. 😍😘
I see many here longing the see Face to Face of our Lord Jesus! When He calls you, you will be with angels surrounding you in Glory. This is one of my favorites too. Lia.
dont fergit the revelation at the final full end sez u get to be a pillar in the temple dat is da lord of that holy city dat cum down OUT of heven (dont say it go back) - wont it be luvly to jut stand there ALL of eternity,,,,,,,,,,,oh luvly luvly luvly luvly to just stand there - so bad that he only chooses a few to receive his gift of faith so they dont not burn in the darkness of hell forever,,,,,,oh the luvly luvly luv of jesus
Bravo et félicitations! Groupe fort intéressant dont chaque instrument est important. Larme à l'oeil à chaque écoute, je passe des heures à écouter! bonne continuation...

im 80 on wed and know that will keep.delay me /not think of mine !
are you still with us? Jay
Have you ever seen a new Orleans Jazz Funeral? That's how I would like to have a funeral.
@@joesurfer9754 "Second Line Music"
I hope that will be a long way off yet. However, if you do finally decided to kick it, then please don't forget to tip the band.
The best thing about New Orleans, is you walk along and find this traditional music ,and you know you came to the right place.

What a band, but that voice: No mic, recorded by a cell phone at a distance, and yet still angels weep.
Having just found them, I fully know I would sit and listen ALL day and not move at all
I really love this woman’s voice.
So deep voice that I could hear Joe Watkins of George Lewis band coming through.
MaggieTheCat01 yo tambien

👍👍
Almost in tears...but must put the cat out. 😎⚘👌💕🌿
If you don't love this band & they're music you are dead inside. LOVE them all!
Bravo tubaskinny and the internet allowing us to beautiful music
I think this (Closer Walk with Thee) is my favorite of all they play. I keep coming back to hear it again and again.
I'm forever hooked and addicted to tuba skinny.
And me I cannot go one day without at least an hour session of Tuba Skinny
Me to .." Give us this day , our daily fix "

*Thee
@@bossfan49 To elaborate, "thee" is objective, like "him"; "thou" is nominative, like "he".
So deep voice that I could hear Joe Watkins of George Lewis band coming through.
Satchmo is without a doubt the best ever on this song
*Closer Walk with THEE
Thank the Lord for Tuba Skinny
Let´s praise the menbers of Tuba Skinny.
I’d rather thank their natural talent
Tuba Skinny > Grealish
Amen, Brother!
From a BLUES fan totally agree
She sings without a microphone. So immediate and raw. Absolutely damn lovely. 😎👌
Thanks for koming to my vith yor musik 🇩🇰
If my Mom were still alive, I know she would love this!
Reminds me of going to my Baptist church with my mother.
Great long a go memories.
Thanks

wonderfully expressed
Yeah, she gets that phrasing moving in the blood......supple, filled with expression. Whew.
House of the raised ground sun
Como se llama la chica trompetista
It sounds so soulful. I can hear voices from form past generations. Beautiful!
Beautiful rendition! The brass harmony is second to none!

Erika adds a slight delay that blows me away.
*New Orleans Jazz :)
That clarinet player rates up there with Pete Fountain. love them all.
Thank you all of you, you are so good to see and hear
Her voice is so absolutely beautiful
Have never heard a better version of this classic.... love them all!
Love the dented trombone , it must be why it sounds so great!! (I play an undented Horn; probably why no one listens to me)
@@MarinerCayPilot Try Magali Datzira's version; completely different :)

I.m 84. I love them....
I love the nonchalant way they the make fantastic music
Just demonstrates their amazing talent
Your use of the word "nonchalant" is the perfect descriptor to define one of the most unique talents of this very talented group.
How I wish my Dad was here to hear this.
my dad, gone 40 years, used to live on Royal street right where I've seen this group play numerous times. Love that Dixieland sound.
I wish my mom was!
Wish my mom was!
HE HEARS IT, & STILL WATCHING AFTER U
Same with my dear Dad, I discovered my love for this sort of music too late
Top - Super - best music I ever heard!
Erika is the best
It's amazing how people go by and don't stop to listen to these beautiful melodies that invite you to listen or dance. Excellent musicians
I think that makes the performance even more beautiful and “real life”
I’ve heard this song many times, but never done so well as this. Fantastic!
I watch every Tuba Skinny video in fascination, unreal talent! That voice ❤️
789k views and only 2.8k upvotes?
Who else is listening to this every morning?
I think most TH-cam viewers don't have accounts, so they can't vote.
Every day !
y often listen, but still prefere marsalis's and carling's. sorry.
I just happened upon this video. Never heard of Tuba Skinny before but immediately I was captivated. Excellent group of musicians. Such a lazy tempo which grabs you and won't let you go.
Just found these guys am totally hooked
Helen Lizzy Stewart me too, just found this, I dig it.genui ne, honest music
Just found these guys, hooked too! Dance to them all myself.
Just can’t get enough of this superb band !! Love “closer walk” and “ yes sir, that’s my baby” Eddie no 1 fan !!

One of the best renditions I have heard. Could listen all day an all night.
Fantastic! Tears in my eyes.
Me too.
Tuba Skinny is the best! Special congratulations to Shayne and Erica!
What combined talent. Music for the soul. Long live Tuba Skinny.
Just bloody stunning .. has 'Closer Walk' ever been closer to heaven ? No wonder it's at over 700,000 views.

Just stumbled on to this site. WOW.. they have another fan. Love from Scotland
Some of the very best I have ever heard in my soon 74 years jazz-listened, mange tak Tuba Skinny, så godt!!, tak
ok, only listened to jazz from I was 12....so only 62 years...
Non ho parole....Siete una meravigliosa orchestra!!👍👍👍💖💖💖🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Of all the versions of this song, this is my favorite. Just love it. ❤️
Tuba Skinny Это прекрасный Jazz это проффи это красиво слушать.
Brilliant! Now that's jazz.
Thanks again. More Gospel please. God bless you all 🙏😉
One of my favorite songs, especially this rendition. The vocals are hauntingly beautiful.

Debra Bolton : me paraît encore plus fort. : th-cam.com/video/6gEOOUxPI2o/w-d-xo.html ,
That was superb. George Lewis and other old New Orleans greats would have been proud of this.
this is the best version of this song i've heard
...why go to the ends of the earth when Al brings it to us... brings tears to the eyes...best one yet.
Alan Bates Glad to oblige whenever I can.
It is even better being there Alan, especially when we heard this remarkably moving number.

I have seen them three times in NOLA and I ran into the band in Germany while they were touring Europe. I wish Shayne would smile more often. She always looks like she is either mad at the world or has an Excedrin headache.
sysjls75 Yes, I wish she would smile too! There is a vid where she nearly did! And then didnt!
I love Craig Flory he puts so much into his music. This whole band is amazing...
Great clarinet playing. One of the rare cases where vibrato seems to be appropriate.
Immense Shaye, Immense Erika, Immense Barnabus, Immense Tuba Skinny
I hope u feel how much we love YOU all !!!!
Just love this music....Lets go to New Orleans!!!!!!!!
This isTuba Skinny at their very best
W ally Schuett. What a beautiful, melancholy, soulful rendition. Perfect.

Jazz cats showing respect to the spirituals...thank you! You guys rule,
So good gospel is often ignored sadly and there are so many wonderful pieces of music to be enjoyed. Thank you for your music ......
I miss New Orleans so much. Lived there til Katrina blew my world apart. ALL MUSIC ALL THE TIME.....and the occasional dancin'.
Gefühl füreinander und Respekt voreinander - absolut coole Mücke👍
Always a joy to stop and listen - in person or on my phone from afar.
Just love this band. And adore Erica. Terrific voice. No make up. Hair a mess. No glamour clothes. And yet somehow soooo sexy !!!!!
Her sexiness is visceral. Her appeal is instinctive, like a candle flame to a moth. Yeah, I guess she'll do.😊
Love this jazz. So does the Dog in the background.
I think this is the best version ever and they are fantastic......
This is just fantastic. I've been binge listening, can't get enough!!
Bands like this kept the Quarter alive. I know. I lived there.
cannot stop watching this - at least once a day - so very good
Such a lovely serenade,just melts my
HEARD 👍🎩
Erika you give chills. I think I'm falling in love! You have a beautiful and soulful singing. And you're beautiful .
Makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Perfection. Love you all.
Just can’t get enough of this band,they really are something else,just wish I could get to see them before I pass on ,so so good
My favorite rendition of this song. They're the best!
They're focused on the song rather than audience response. That's the problem for most bands.
YOU'LL FIND A DIFFERENT FAVORITE EVERYT TIME
What a beautiful voice and this band it's perfect harmony with each other. Great Job!
A top saund , thansk for komming to my in my " littel "World . 🇩🇰
Just had my heart squeezed by a powerful fist....made my eyes water.
The way Erika sings this is amazing. Its like a beat behind the way I've heard it so many times. Really beautiful even with the garbage trucks..
Willie Nelson had been singing in that style since before Erika was born. Wouldn't surprise me if she's got a record of two fo his.
@@albertmotz9534 And Bessie Smith was singing in that style since before Willie was born. But they all do it oh so well. And I'll bet Erika has some Bessie Smith recordings!
amazing! I'm feeling glad listening to this music
What a wonderful effort from Barnabas
Part of the magic that is New Orleans is it's music. You will likely hear better music on the street than you would in a club.Love that town.
Wonderful Erika, and the conversations between the cornet and the clarinet are pure heaven...
The singer is beautiful but when she smiles (not often enough) she is just radiant! Yes yes she is. Please smile more often and my heart will absolutely melt. 😍😘
I have heard nearly all the old bands, but TubaSkinny is the best in the th traditional style.
Wow! This one earned 5 ... count 'em ... tributes from Connie Haines so this has to be a new record! Great performance by great musicians ... Mikie
I have a suspicion Mr Colyer would have loved to have sat in with them. They really do capture the soul of the music.
Wow, this is five stars. Love this band. 👏
Mommy, what a beautiful song! Yes Andrew, it's the prettiest song!
Einfach fantastisch gespielt! Mit unglaublich viel Gefühl. Best Interpretation i‘ve heart. Great thanks
