Barnabus said 2 things that explain Tuba Skinny's enormous success and their quality: "we play together all the time" and "we enjoy playing". And, may I add, we, the audience, enjoy listening to them - a lot!...
I saw Tuba Skinny here in So Cal in 2019 when they played in Eagle Rock at Temple Beth Israel. At the intermission, Barnabus came back to where my wife and I were sitting and started up a very pleasant conversation with us. He struck us as a very 'salt of the earth' guy who really loves to play music. Really nice guy.
A lot of frustration in this comment section concerning how little was revealed about the band and his reluctance to elaborate. But this just adds to the lore, mystique surrounding tuba skinny. The placid on the surface but immense energy and sophistication just below is absolutely part of what endears us to them. We’re left wanting more. perfect!
Tuba Skinny is extremely good. Damn fine group. A tight band.
A modest man with great stage presence. Thank you Tuba skinny!
A statesmanlike performance from my hero Barnabus Jones. A modest man who inspired me to pick up my trombone and play. That was 5 years ago and thanks to You Tube I can join in with the Band in my acoustic Kitchen. When they talk of the Trombone Greats they never consider ensemble work. Barnabus gets the balance right and his support of Shaye is a delight to behold. Tuba Skinny is the most significant band in Jazz for 50 years..
Probably the best band ever playing NOL Style music.
A brilliant musician and easy-going man, so nice to hear his real voice!
...defenitly a few hundred...
Keeping that great old music alive!! Today's Pop Music aficionados don't know what they're missing.
So glad to see an interview. Hope others speak, too
Damn good band that we all love to hear play.
One hell of a Great band ! Music from the heart !
Interviewer needs to come loaded with questions and lead the conversation for such guys like Mr. Jones who is obviously introverted. One of the best trombone players around he is, this Barnabus. Long time fan I am. Had the good fortune of seeing The Skinnys in Philly. Y'all come back now.
World best trombone player in the world! Thanks for all your great music. Best foot stomper in the band. Thanks for all you guys do.
Great interview and Barnabus Jones seems to express the essence of Tuba Skinny...he is refreshingly candid and unassuming and down to earth; in essence 'a regular guy' who loves the music he plays.
He has given me a true appreciation for the trombone. He's great! TS is my main band and now I finger pick allot of the same songs they do. That I picked up from them.
Thanks for putting a voice to Barnabus and his trombone.I live in the UK and am totally addicted to this band.Their repertoire appears endless,and it's all great stuff.They have additions to the group from time to time,so the balance changes,but it's always good, great talent.
Just love this band, they are just so good.
This is so interesting. These musicians met each other through face to face networking. They are all kindred spirits. I love his humility.
