Tuba Skinny - "The Storyville Blues"

Robin introduces this classic old tune about the former red light district in New Orleans. At The Maison Frenchmen Street in New Orleans on February 29, 2024.

Many thanks, James. An elegant, relaxed performance. This is, of course, not a 12-bar blues. It has two themes, each of 16 bars. After the Introduction, the band plays the first theme twice (from 00:27 to 01:31); and later plays it again to round off the performance [after the familiar hand-on-head signal from Shaye] from 04:44 to the end. Between these 'bookends', they play the second theme six times, of which the fifth is taken as a solo by Todd on the sousaphone. Like most bands, Tuba Skinny play this piece in the key of A flat, making it a little higher and brighter than when it is performed in E flat.

Excellent.

[@emiliolopezify]

Magnificent!
They played this rune not so often.
But they are one of the greatest performances they do.
I remember you filmed this tune on one of their first busking performances after shutdown in 2020.

An old New Orleans tune from a time gone by. A fine tune played just right.
