"The Climax Rag" - Tuba Skinny
Музыка
The band plays one of my all time favorites. I dare you to try and sit still while listening to this! At the d.b.a., 608 Frenchmen Street, New Orleans, on January 7, 2023.

Climax Rag is a a great composition too. Love it so much when Tuba Skinny played Ragtimes. Especially the two rarities by May Aufderheide the Dusty Rag and The Thriller Rag.
A great Rag that we have heard from them before. As fresh as it was when first written and played. Great sound and picture.
Ok, I tried to sit still. You know what? It worked for half a second 😉 Thank you James for another great video.
Sit still ? Impossible !! Thank you James...great sound and video ... nice view of Robin's "dancing hands"
Le roll de James Scott de 1914 était déjà génial avec cette intro en descente chromatique (un truc à faire frémir Debussy!) ... Mais ici, avec Tuba Skinny, on touche encore à la perfection. D'abord les vents tout en contrepoint et dont les soli sont simplement splendides et d'une logique qui rejoint les orchestres d'Armstrong entre 1928 et 1932 (si je ne me goure pas). Et derrière une section rythmique admirable soutenant un swing tel qu'on ne peut s'empêcher de marquer le tempo avec le pied.... Vraiment Tuba Skinny est un orchestre formidable qui m'a refait prendre contact avec tout le jazz de la Nouvelle Orléans (moi le fan de Parker, Miles Davis et Archie Shepp)!!! Tous les jours je découvre une nouvelle merveille joué par cet orchestre aussi talentueux qu'inventif! Merci aux Tuba Skinny de rendre la vie plus légère à un "vioque" de 77 ans qui ne peut plus se déplacer!

Well done, brenda mello. They are to go back to the First Strain (Theme A) and play it one more time before launching into the Third Strain ((Theme C).

You're on the right lines, brenda mello. But on this occasion the Jury requires a little more than that. As they are already playing, why would they be asked to 'join in'?

Right, brenda mello. The Jury has decided in your favour. The full explanation is that they are just coming up to a two-bar 'break' (01:25 to 01:27), where it is common for just one player to take it. If Shaye had not signalled, the other two would probably have dropped out just for those two bars, leaving her to play it. For an example of someone taking a solo two-bar break (Barnabus, on a signal from Shaye), watch 01:45 - 01:48.
Get this; not a single musical instrument that’s being played in this band is wired into anything. That means if the power were to go out, they can still keep playing.
