Related: About this forumJubilee Stomp - Tuba Skinny - Royal Street, New Orleans ⚜
- 🎵 Shaye Cohn on cornet is the director of Tuba Skinny. - Tuba Skinny is a traditional jazz street band based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The band's instrumentation includes cornet, clarinet, trombone, tuba, tenor banjo, guitar, frottoir, & vocals. The ensemble draws its inspiration from the early jazz, ragtime, & blues music of the 1920s & 1930s.
The group began as an itinerant busking band & has performed around the world, including at music festivals in Mexico, Sweden, Australia, Italy, France, Switzerland, & Spain.
For over a decade, Tuba Skinny has grown steadily in popularity, releasing albums, frequently touring, & attracting fans from all over the world. Their albums have garnered multiple awards, & they have been hailed by Offbeat magazine, The Syncopated Times, & other publications as one of the best traditional early jazz bands performing today..The band's fan base has been described as possessing a "lighthearted, fun, flapper vibe," a reflection of the Jazz Age time period evoked by their music.
🎭 Despite the band's global fame & frequent performances in nightclubs & at jazz festivals, they have continued to perform on the streets of New Orleans & other cities in order to maintain their intimate connection with audiences.
"A lot of us came down here [New Orleans] without the expectation that we would be doing what we're doing today, but we were all drawn to stay here because of the city's rich musical legacy. We're transplants from different parts of the country, but we share a deep love & respect for this city." Shaye Cohn, Offbeat magazine, March 2018. The nucleus of Tuba Skinny began coalescing in the Crescent City circa 2003 to 2005, just prior to Hurricane Katrina...https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuba_Skinny
