Next Treasured Jazz&Jazz YouTube: Tuba Skinny “New Orleans Bump”

October 4, 2017 By Peter Butler Leave a Comment

Part 4 in the Series Featuring Jazz&Jazz YouTubes

Over the past three plus years I have travelled far and wide filming jazz bands and musicians at various venues including clubs, festivals, theatres and special events. In that time I have produced around 1,500 videos from which I have so far created well over 700 YouTubes. When time permits I enjoy browsing through them on my Jazz & Jazz YouTube Site.

But rather than just keep them listed there I’ve decided on a new series of periodical Jazz&Jazz posts featuring a selection of my favourites. Not in date order nor necessarily based on video quality – top quality isn’t easily achievable at crowded jazz venues – but on shere enjoyment of the performances, the music, the appreciation of the fans, and the enthusiasm and rapport of the musicians and bands.

TUBA SKINNY AT FEST JAZZ 2014

Fest Jazz, Châteauneuf-du-Faou, Brittany, July, 2014. The festival’s star act Tuba Skinny doing what they enjoy most playing en plein air in the town square, New Orleans Street Style. The number, typical to their 1920s/1930s themes – New Orleans Bump by Jelly Roll Morton’s Red Hot Peppers. Even the church bells sounded a peal of applause. Tuba Skinny are: Erika Lewis (vocals, bass drum), Shaye Cohn (cornet), Todd Burdick (Tuba), Jason Lawrence (Banjo), John Doyle (Clarinet), Barnabus Jones (Trombone), Robin Rapuzzi (Washboard).

First in the series was “Davenport Blues” with Alan Gresty and Tony Pitt.
Part 2: Denise Gordon and Roy Williams “Sugar”!
Part 3: Barry Palser Presents “That Dada Strain”

HELP US KEEP JAZZ LIVE AND ALIVE!

Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.

Jazz&Jazz is dedicated to keeping jazz LIVE AND ALIVE. We value exchanges of views on all things jazz. You can make your comments by using the “Speak Your Mind” option below each post.

But as Jazz&Jazz coverage increases incrementally in quality as well as quantity so do costs - travel, photography, videos, subscriptions, booking and ticket prices.

CONTRIBUTIONS to help cover costs would therefore be greatly appreciated. Jazz&Jazz also features JAZZ ART, sales of which help finance expenses.

RECENT ACCOLADES

“Jazz & Jazz” is an invaluable platform for news about young bands and musicians. It’s a great way for organisers like me to know what is going on! The enthusiasm of Peter Butler is inspirational and infectious and has certainly done much to boost the reputation of Fest Jazz beyond the boundaries of Brittany. Long may the site continue and flourish!”
Trevor Stent, Good Time Jazz

“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans
