Shaye and the band blowing the roof off the place!!!! Everyone in top form as usual....I think they'll remember Tuba Skinny for a long time after hearing this outstanding set............
Many thanks, John. 'Hot Town' - depicting a train journey to 'Hot Town' and reaching the destination at the end of the piece - was composed in 1929 by clarinet-playing bandleader Fess Williams and recorded in New York that year by Fess Williams and His Royal Flush Orchestra. Tuba Skinny copy the Introduction of the original and then sensibly omit the vocal patter while making the 'railway' noises before Shaye (from 00:24 to 00:57) is the first to play the 32-bar theme. Fess Williams' original version is full of ideas but I think Tuba Skinny's quicker tempo (specially quick in this particular performance) and plentiful clever tricks make their version even more enjoyable than his. Note how, when Shaye states the theme, Craig and Barnabus don't forget the stabbing offbeats with which they have to back her in the 8th and 16th bars! It is played five more times: 00:58 : Ensemble; but with Barnabus leading in the final 16 bars; 01:30 : Craig improvises over the 32 bars, but with Shaye and Barnabus backing him in the Middle Eight; 02:01 : Ensemble, but with Max leading in the final 16 bars; 02:33 : Robin takes the 32 bars, against stop chords (but note the clever triple stop chords in the Middle Eight); 03:05 : Ensemble with trombone and sousaphone 'echoing' effect - closely copied from the Fess Williams original; Shaye takes the Middle Eight as a solo. Note the clever ending, with rallentando and extra two bars, to bring the train journey to an end. Played entirely in the key of B flat. Sorry to be tedious, but I know there are a few people who enjoy a look under the bonnet.
@@JohnDodds36 Sorry. We've got a music festival over here, lasts two months. Different type of music, though. I've been to that, and I am dog-tired as a result. But I'm still paying attention.
@@BudgieJane Hey. I just missed you helping me with titles, but I have a few others who can pick them out also. Glad you're finding some good music. John

I love looking under the bonnet! It really makes me think! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Laura. It makes me think, too: that's why I do it.
