No auto-tune on Erika's voice or any processing at all on the instruments. Just pure musical talent from the entire band who knows how to use dynamics. Music is made to move air... an analog guy here living in a digital world - but that digital world gives us the ability to hear them...

Because they do not appreciate good music. They are there to eat and drink.

You just never get tired of this music. Watch each one as they do their magic.

Tuba Skinny needs their own KZread channel and their own videographer.

This is the first Tuba Skinny video I watched in 2016. Erika nails it. I am sure Ray would approve.

I'm Brazilian, the country of the Samba, but I would be able to pull a chair, sit down, and listen to Jazz for a long and long time !! The style that best reminds us of the roots of the USA. Wonderful!!

So glad I found the superb Tuba Skinny on u tube. A joy to behold.

..this makes me happy, it still exists :)

this group was once young:))))))))

Brilliant band of lovely happy musicians. I love jazz and that's it at its very best

I am spendig hours and days.......listening to Tuba Skinny.....they better come "downunder" before I leave the planet!

Good ol Brother Ray would be tickled if he could hear this! I've never heard a ragtime-Dixieland jazz group before that was so much fun! I sat through the whole song, just grinning from one ear to the other! So glad I got to hear these folks. Ireally dig their takes on other old established classics.

Best version on this tune in the known universe.

Been about a month since I discovered Tuba Skinney on KZread. Listen to them every day now. Did not realize they had been around as long as they had. Keep it up, you sound great!

I wish every street corner had a band like this!

Just amazing !! i started listening tuba skinny one year ago . It brings me joy and connection to life.

super, make's me happy 😁 thats music 👏👏👏👏👏

I can sit down and listen to this music all day long. Or in a long drive.

Great music, I miss this place.

After ten days in NOLA, and un three of yours presentación, I think You are the most beautifull woman musician that I ever meet un my live. You well deserve "Blue Cotton Rag"

I enjoy listening to this band, I find their music quite uplifting also to see some people dancing.

It amazes me that no one stops to just listen.

I’ve watched this one so many times . . . and I’m sure I will again.

And I am 92 year old and tuba skinny has become my daily friend !

Thank You Tuba Skinny for putting spring in my step when "I ain't got no woman."

You are the best, what punch, what vitality, ho, I love you the TubaSkinny !

Erika, tu chantes comme personne et en plus t'es belle à mourir ! et tu fais comme si tu le savais pas ! totalement irrésistible ! merci !

Tuba Skinny is where it’s at !

They are so good. They are the best. Love this band forever. I wish I could be there to enjoy them live. Why sometimes there are more musicians in the band, and other times there are less?

Two gorgeous ladies !!! Oh my goodness. Killin me WoW

Thank you for great epic video. Still 2021 they are the best jazz music, thanks camera person too. Keep smiling with lol politely & safely jazz it with ♡ Tuba skinny

Que linda voz... Me apaixonei!!! Brasilllllll São Paulo. É disso que precisamos!!

Nothing like having fun.

I played this music in the mid 70s to mid 80s Jersey shore and Philly area. Now live in Hawaii and if anyone from here sees this post to me as I want to start a band like this here in the islands! It will be a hit.. Nothing like it here! Aloha!

GREAT VOICE

I wish my dad had been around to hear these guys , I know he would have been over the moon ,like me

clap clap clap i love this music. discovered 2 months ago.

An interesting twist and great rendition to the Ray Charles classic from 1954. Tuba Skinny does it again with their talent!

its like this music is the spirit of pure music?

It is just beautiful music Erica lol thanks all Tuba skinny lol too and camera person keep smiling with lol politely be safe

This vídeo is the Best confirmación: Erika Lewis is a lady full of músic.

Awesome... cant tell you how happy you all make me. Thank you x

The most wonderful band in the world!!!

Look"I say look at that Gazelle,, Erica lewis is a wild raw, mean, moody, big and bouncy magnificent talent" like these Exquisite musicians, ahh man what a class act

It always amazing to me as to how people just walk past - as if nothing is happening at all. I sometimes feel sorry for people who cannot feel ( inwardly resonate) the delightful vibration of a jaunty , danceable rhythm . "Dead souls?" - yes - many of them.

She’s a Master Piece of Trumpet dictator genios musical speech dialogue. Ohhh, my goodness!😮

Love this song ! Great fun !

I'm an old man and almost every night before I turn in I listen to some Tuba Skinny

Tuba Skinny plays traditional NOLA music, and does it very well. This song is Ray Charles' first hit.....Ray Charles early in career recorded at Cosimo Matassa's studio. This song was co-written by Renard Richard, of Louisiana (various relatives living in Donaldsonville).

Good quality music, and people just wander by like it's not there. Such is the plight of a lot of talented musicians.

That was a long time ago, but there's something about the thonk-thonk-thonk of the King 2340 three-valve tuba that is still perfect.

Tuba Skinny is great.
