Damnn the couple who danced at 00:32 make this whole thing more perfect

This is one of my favorite videos ever. Not only is there sheer delight (as always) in Tuba's Skinny's happy, snappy music, but the entire street scene has such authenticity. A stray collarless dog wanders by, searching for food, and a couple passes with such genuine, unbridled joie de vivre as they dance down the street with impromptu exuberance.

Notice her "call-outs", especially the last one! A well controlled band that is still loose enough to be excellent jazz. And the dancing couple verifies what it's about.

Once I saw the couple on the sidewalk dancing, such joy!!! Each of the band members played so well together!!!

That couple dancing made me tear up. So beautiful ...the true joy of life.

Give some Love to the washboard guy. He has been helping them swing for many years.

The musicianship, it goes without saying, is outstanding, but what I found compelling was the communication between these wonderful performers. Brilliant!

This the first tune I ever heard performed by Tuba Skinny - and I immediately fell in love with them.

This is just plain COOL !.... lots of folks just do not understand how much work it takes to play this well !

The world is a better place because Tuba Skinny is in it. Thank you for sharing your talents.

My 92 year old grandpa loved your music. He passed a few years back, but for some reason I remembered he showed me this music and I just wanted to say thanks for what you've done. You've 100% bridged the generations.

It feels so surreal to hear it so clear, usually with music like this in that time would've been recorded with old microphones and I'd except a shitload of old fashioned scratching and low quality old noises like it would sound like it as recorded in 1910 but hearing this music clearly feels so good.

Dude with the Clarinet is LEGENDARY 😁

This is like a shot of good energy in this hard times, great performer's 👍

the dog adds a touch of class

I love the couple down the street dancin! This music just makes you happy.😃

0:32 right side --> couple dancing ❤

Oh joy! ... that dancing couple going up the street was true love in motion ... Mikie

Everything joyful is in this clip. a loose dog, a couple dancing, a banjo just plaingn, a girl just standing and listen, a street cleener, a drunk turist, a clarinett, and all the beautiful musicians

The impromptu couple dancing at the beginning tells you what you need to know about Tuba Skinny. Their music just gets in your bones, your soul, and makes you happy.

The clarinet solos are awesome.

I only scrolled down to see if others had mentioned the lovely couple dancing. Their joy brings warmth to my heart.

How are people just walking by? This is what exploring culture and music is about. Stubling across a gem of a street performance like this is awesome.

the joy of the couple in the background is just priceless!

A dying art...so good to see the young keeping it alive.

I know I’m not the only one who just randomly stumbled upon this amazing piece of art 🥰

The world needs more washboard solos.

I’m continuously obsessed with this group. New Orleans jazz flows in my blood! My grandparents grew up in the Irish channel in the 30s/40s :). Much love!

IF you stop to listen to an outdoor performer are impressed always make sure to tip them they are something special and have earned it.

That time when KZfaq ' s algorithm hit a home run. 😎

Now I’m 18 turning 19 but this is my type of music, it feels like your living in a old cartoon world

I must've watched this a hundred times, each time looking at different players, astonished at their chops and lines, and I'll watch it 100 times more. It's Heaven.

0:32 後ろで踊っている二人が素敵すぎる

You know, the joy of pieces like this are just absolutely amazing. Even though I'm not from the decade, just listening to it makes me feel nostalgic of something I've never experienced ever; a life I haven't lived. And that's the magic of music: it helps us convey feelings that words cannot describe. People need to recognize and appreciate this secret art...

in my younger days i hated jazz with a passion "BUT" now i am 70 this is great !

She can really play trumpet rocking head while KNOWING right time to fall in as icing on cake.

*This is what America needs in April 2020! Beautiful.*

That couple in the background is adorable.

There would be no war, no conflicts if the world listened to tuba skinny 24/7/365. Everyone would be happy and smiling!

Old school tunes with a great band. The couple in the background dancing is a hoot!

There's so much joy for me in this clip. The cornet player's right leg like she's starting a bike and then beating swingtime like a little jazz engine, the dog wandering home after a big night out, the dancing couple. Then there's the music!

Makes me wish I could play something other than the radio

0:47 AA THE PEOPLE DANCING IN THE BACKGROUND SO CUTE

This is as good as it gets. A classic performance. Trad jazz at its very best

What many don't realize is the humble tuba in the back keeping everything together and in tempo.

It's so good to be back in the Roaring 20s 😁💕

I Swear a Normal Rockwell painting just came to life and played me a New Orleans song!

A literal bridge between America's jazz past and our future... so thankful there are humans who value that bridge and want to keep traffic flowing over it...!

Dude on the washboard... killing it

God DAMN the clarinet absolutely shines in this tune!! That guy is the modern day Benny Frickin' Goodman!

I've never heard better music than when I went to New Orleans over 20 years ago (haven't been back since, but I want to). The music and the vibes are phenomenal.

Real music! Nothing fake.

One of my favorites. Ewan Bleach really rocks on the clarinet-this tune is a great showcase for the clarinet, and Ewan is inspired-and Shaye's cornet solo is up to her usual fantastic standard. This clip is also one of the best for the visual Barbabus where his whole lanky body gets possessed by the music-I love it! And I'm surprised that he doesn't actually take flight-not to mention a fine, rockin' performance by the musical Barnabus. Robin Rapuzzi's washboard breaks are particularly nifty in this clip-his humor is amazing. Kudos, indeed, to the whole band. And especially to Shaye, who keeps the whole thing smokin'. In addition, the ambiance with the dog and the dancers makes me weep with joy. Tuba Skinny!

Maybe the best thing that the KZfaq's has ever recommended to me. That was great.

I am feeling old city, old people, old history when hearing this old music, jazz. Greetings from korea. God bless them.

I just love these guys. All really talented musicians and having such fun

The couple that danced right down the street made me smile 💞

It needs to be mandatory that every city have multiple bands doing this on multiple blocks. Imagine how much better the world would be

They made it to the Newport Jazz Festival this year! Wonderful band!

Walking in the French Quarter, we are greeted with this golden music in the open air. The hot,, humid Summers.This music is salvation for the Dog Days. Thankyou Tuba Skinny

Excellence! And I agree, the couple dancing was the best! Pure JOY!

Ewan Bleach is wonderful on clarinet.

The dancing couple made me so happy

You can forget all your troubles listening to this, brilliant and uplifting..

This is “ New Orleans “ heaven in real time 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

Brilliant. And the couple dancing down the street was perfect.

Unless you lived there most people only hear Jazz music. Jazz music is something on another level it's alive you feel in Bones I loved living in New Orleans for 5 years

Fantastic piece of Dixieland jazz, great band👍🏽

Every city of any size should have one of these on a street corner somewhere, just lurking.. Love youse guys!!!

Can’t take my eyes off Shaye. So gorgeous!

They even dress the part! Look at their shoes and pants and shirts wow! Straight out of the 40's. Love it!

love the dancing couple in the background..

By far the very best traditional Jazz group since Chris Barber of the 1960s and 70s! There is renewed hope for a future of this joyful optimistic genre.

Holy katzenjammers! Just a handful of musicians making THAT much music! It's incredible!

Joy, pure joy!!! One can forget all the troubles in life!

That couple were having their main character movie moment right there

I love the couple waltzing away and the funny Tuba!

I just can't get enough of Tuba S! Fabulous wonderful classy jumpin' music. Gog bless you all & keep playing; I'll keep listening.

The Jubilee Stomp is just such a genius composition… it feels so right.

The best TRAD I've heard for years !!!

More magic from Tuba Skinny keeping the 'élan vital'-the life, soul and spirit of jazz, indeed of Life itself-alive, well and healthy. All power to Shaye and her compatriots of swing, improvisation and rhythm.

Now that's music, and that's playing. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

FRM SPAIN. I LOVE THIS MUSIC.COME ON. YOU ARE GENIALS.

Gotta love that couple dancing their way ALL the way down the street! 💃🕺🏻

Just found this now; OMG!!! some of the best "true" Dixieland I've ever heard!!

I love Tuba Skinny. They play at my friend’s blueberry farm every year.

I love it when the musicians enjoy playing their music as much as I enjoy listening to it! It don't get no better!

I love the people dancing by in the background. Living their best life

Shaye Cohn--you're a goddess! A buncha outstanding musicians--unbelievably fun.

Trombone Man's "knee dance" captivated me.

The world needs to give their cell phones a break and have a seat and listen….We need more bands like this spreading joy through music 🙏🏽🙏🏽 They also need to be doing this FULL TIME in Disneyland 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Everyone is great but I’ve never seen anyone bang out a washboard rhythm like my man right here.

I watch this video every day and it gets better each time. So does my day!

So awesome! The dancing couple, the dog...awesome! Made my day🙏❤️🙏

Son un grupo alegre, bullicioso,ameno, su ritmo y sensibilidad son sensacionales y nos llenan de felicidad. Dios los bendiga siempre!

Gotta love the couple dancing and hopping away in the background💚

Shaye, it was wonderful to see you smile and to know that you were happy during the playing of this tune.

Played the trumpet many, many years ago and can very much appreciate the beautiful mellow sounds emanating from the coronet. Loved it all. Well done!

Soy colombiano con 83 años. Aprendí a amar esta música en Vietnam en mi temporada como soldado. Ya está en mi mente con el peso de muchos recuerdos. Hummm, tu sabes. .

Outstanding performance, all of them are top notch at what they do.
