**** Music- Tuba Skinny (website)
This entry into the music/ arts honour roll society of this journal/ blog, will be to showcase some of the music of the "Tuba Skinny" band of New Orleans. This group really sounds good, and captures the nostalgia of the great swing, blues, ragtime, and jazz of the 1920s/ 1930s, I've alwayz loved the music from then, and alwayz looked at it as good inspiration and ideas for incorporating it into upbeat heavy rock and punk music too, since I love both, as well. It's also the main ingredient for some of the great Electro Swing of today, such as groups like "Caravan Palace" and "Diablo Swing Orchestra". The members of Tuba Skinny have all different roots as far as music/ art backgrounds, from jazz, to blues, swing, punk, and more ... and they are all from other parts than New Orleans. They met on the streets of New Orleans, prior to Hurricane Katrina ... the group started to slowly evolve piece by piece between 2003 to 2009, to become where they are today. This group, even though they are a favourite local street busking crew of the French Quarter in New Orleans, are known all over the world, by musicians and a spread out global fan base, and have received a number of awards ... yet still continue their street performances, and put out 10 full albums between 2009 and 2019. I love the vocal work and style of Erika Lewis, I could listen to her sing all day long ... many times on the street, she uses no mic. Even playing on the street at times, when the group is mostly free of any electronic equipment/ amplification, they still produce a powerful sound ... so I wanted to highlight some of that stuff here. This is the kind of group that will make folks just want to get up and dance, great stuff! There is so much more about this band, so I'll let the links handle that. I wanted to open below with a favourite of mine from years back ... "Yes Sir That's My Baby", that has been played by so many since around 1925 ... and some others follow. I also included a video at the very bottom of the posting, of an interview with the group, where they introduce themselves, and answer questions about their music, backgrounds, and much else. Wishing them the best and more ... and Thanx for doing such a great job at reviving and preserving these classic sounds. ... Enjoy!
