Tuba Skinny, which has been led ever since its formation in 2009 by cornetist Shaye Cohn, has long been one of the top jazz attractions in New Orleans.
Whether playing outside in the streets of the French Quarter (as in this film) or in a club, the ensemble performs hot traditional jazz with plenty of spirit and creativity.
The band in 2018 consisted of cornetist Cohn, trombonist Barnabus Jones, Craig Flory or Ewan Bleach on reeds, guitarist Greg Sherman, banjoist Jason Lawrence, Todd Burdick on sousaphone, Robin Rapuzzi on washboard, and singer Erika Lewis.
A similar unit is featured here in 2019 on their uptempo blues “Gimme Some.”
