I remember first hearing this song, recorded by the great blues artist Elmore James in the 50s, back in the early 70s when I was discovering the original blues pioneers. First recorded by Tampa Red in 1931 and released in 1940. This is a great version, less blues and more jazz. Love Tuba Skinny!

This is the first time I've heard this piece and I am absolutely in love with it. It's a beautiful tune and starts out with a beautifully constructed introduction and coordinated front line. It ends with a sound that I've come to associate with tuba skinny; I call it Controlled Chaos as they all improvise while listening to and responding to each other. It makes me think of the Minnie the Moocher and early Mickey Mouse cartoons from the Fleischer Brothers. As I listened tonight I realized that this sound from the early Jazz Age must have been the inspiration for Charles Ives. James, thank you for yet another beautifully recorded and filmed performance by Tuba Skinny. I deeply appreciate all the time and loving effort that goes into producing these videos. You pour a lot of love into the recording, editing, and uploading of each these videos. It takes great dedication to travel to and record all these performances, many of which are encountered with little fore-warning.

It‘s originally a song from Elmore James, but it successfully transmogrifies to a Tuba Skinny setting! ❤

Many thanks, James. This is a tune they introduced recently to their repertoire. We can't be sure who 'composed' it, but both the melody and the chord sequence of this unsophisticated 8-bar song seem to go back at least as far as 'How Long Blues' of 1928.

@@JamesSterling Ah, that would be the Memphis Sheiks' song called 'Sitting on top of the World', which is indeed almost identical. Not to be confused with the famous 1925 popular song of the same title, with music by Ray Henderson, and recorded by Doris Day, Frank Sinatra and many others.

@@badgeraldo Apparently Elmore James was only 10 years old when 'How Long Blues' appeared. Could he and other musicians have unconsciously plagiarised 'How Long Blues' for the melodies and chord sequences of many songs that came later? Seems likely to me.

@@poppyk1431 Sure enough, around the end of his solo, he throws in some notes on the F7 chord to lead into Craig's chorus, which starts on the chord of B flat. The progression from F7 to B flat is one of the most common in jazz. You get a bonus point for that. However, my question was intended to relate to the very last note Barnabus plays, right at the end of the performance.
