TUBA SKINNY EUROPEAN TOUR 2018 Tournée en , Belgique et Pays-Bas

TUBA SKINNY a commencé de jouer dans les rues de la Nouvelle-Orléans en 2009 et se produit aujourd’hui dans le monde entier

Jean-Pierre de Smet et René Chalandon

1 Formation : Erika Lewis - Vocals

Todd Burdick - Tuba

Shaye Cohn – Shaye’s musical heritage is impressive, and perhaps goes some way to explain her extraordinary talents as a musician (trumpet/cornet, , violin), arranger, composer, artist, and I suspect, quiet power which holds the band together. Granddaughter of Al Cohn, saxophonist with Woody Herman etc. and Marilyn Moore, singer, and daughter of Joe Cohn, guitarist etc., Shaye originally trained as a classical pianist. Where did she go wrong/right!

2 Qui est Tuba Skinny ?

Tuba Skinny est un groupe américain de jazz Nouvelle- Orléans formé en 2009, composé de divers instrumentistes dont un tuba, un trombone, un cornet, un banjo ténor, une guitare, des voix, du washboard, une clarinette. Ce groupe, dont le nom signifie littéralement « tuba maigre », produit une musique inspirée par le jazz précoce des années 1920 et 1930. Depuis sa formation, le groupe composé à l'origine de musiciens de rue depuis constitué en groupe de scène, s'est produit partout dans le monde, lors de festivals de rue ou dans des salles de concert. Le groupe a su gagner un public fidèle avec leur musique caractéristique, leur engagement dans la reprise de chansons depuis longtemps oubliées et leur spectacles époustouflants. Leur musique est faite pour la danse dans la plus pure tradition de la musique de danse du début du 20ème siècle. Il leur arrive de jouer à l’occasion de soirées dansantes et même de compétitions de danse : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbEH9TzvYtI Quelle est l’origine du nom du groupe ? Il s’agit d’une référence au nom du musicien TUBA FATS, Anthony Lacen, musicien de forte corpulence qui jouait du . Erika Lewis et Todd Burdick assistaient à ses funérailles le 11 janvier 2004 et décidèrent plus tard de nommer leur groupe TUBA SKINNY. Skinny signifie en Français maigre qui est la caractéristique de Todd. Pourquoi le groupe n’est-il composé que de musiciens blancs ? Pur hasard. Ils n’auraient pas mieux demandé que d’avoir un groupe mixte mais les choses ont évolué autrement. Les jeunes musiciens noirs semblent plutôt attirés par d’autres rythmes et répertoires, tout comme dans leurs brassbands. Ces informations ont été collectée par Jean-Pierre de SMET lors d’une interview à Robin Rapuzzi le 23 juin 2017 à Gant. En 2011, ils annulent leur présence au festival de jazz de la mer Rouge, et précisent que les raisons de leur annulation sont nombreuses. Au début, quand ils ont donné leur accord pour jouer au festival, ils n'étaient pas conscients que celui-ci était largement sponsorisé par l'État d'Israël ou qu'on refuserait l'entrée aux gens de l'autre côté du mur. Cette annulation fait partie de manière indirecte du boycott culturel d'Israël, ces actions mises en œuvre par les artistes pour le boycott d'Israël : « Les raisons de notre annulation sont nombreuses. Tout d’abord, lorsque nous avons accepté de jouer au festival nous n’étions pas au courant qu’il était en grande partie financé par l’Etat, ou que l’entrée des gens de l’autre côté du mur serait refusée. »

6 Quelques témoignages : STEVE DIXON de Californie : I came across this article. It is rather long, and appears to have been written in 2009. However, it gives a good background on the Traditional Jazz musicians that we see in the Youtube videos, including Shaye (piano/cornet), Barnabus Jones (trombone), and Todd Burdick (tuba). Much of the article describes the Loose Marbles, a loose band around which many of these musicians originally gravitated. The author states, "I’ve also known Shaye for several years. She lived in at a time when most of my friends there were playing in noise-rock bands, and was definitely the only person I knew who could sight-read Gershwin, or Chopin. Like Ben, she comes from jazz lineage. Her grandfather, Al Cohn, was, Shaye says, a “slightly famous” tenor sax player and big-band arranger. Her parents are both jazz musicians, her father a jazz guitarist and her mother a singer and piano player originally from Japan. The bebop and modern jazz she heard around the house growing up failed to move her. “I just wasn’t interested,” she says. Having played piano from early childhood and reached concert-level by the time she graduated from , Shaye felt compelled to follow her own path. She took up the , and later the trumpet; she, like Todd, took to the rails, playing music wherever she went. This past winter she traveled through Turkey and Greece, playing with the unfortunately-named Cyclowns, an international group of circus performers and gypsy-jazz musicians who in 2006 toured across Asia to Beijing on tall-bikes. But she seems to have found a true calling in playing traditional New Orleans jazz. Out on the corner, playing the Marbles’ well-worn street-piano—it’s painted green and purple, and covered in stickers—she seems absolutely at home. Like Todd, she offers a simple, musical explanation for her love of traditional jazz. “These songs still have the capacity to move people,” she says. “To make people feel something.”" boingboing.net Tuba Skinny : Old timey blues and jazz street act from New Orleans Last week, I caught Tuba Skinny opening for the Dresden Dolls in New Orleans -- heard them busking in the French Quarter and invited them out to the show. I got both of their CDs and have been enjoying the hell out of them ever since: this is old timey blues and jazz with an emphasis on standards, arranged with a prominent horn section (as the name implies) and mostly sung by Erika Lewis, who belts it out like Mae West. The band was adorable -- extras from The Little Rascals, and they were as fine to hear live as they are on their CDs, Six Feet Down and Tuba Skinny. The former contains an original track, also called "Six Feet Down," credited to Erika Lewis, that is a really fine song that sounds as good as any of the tried-and-true standards like "At the Jazz Band Ball" and "Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None of My Jelly Roll" that fill out the rest of the disc. CANDCJ sur Youtube Top Deck this wonderful warm and sunny afternoon onboard Paddle Steamer The Natchez, before cruising down and up the mighty Mississippi, Tuba Skinny made their first appearance on the River. Quoting from Steamboat Stomp's presentation: "Tuba Skinny came together in New Orleans in 2009 as a loose collection of street musicians and has since evolved to a fully formed professional band. Their unique sound evokes the rich musical heritage of New Orleans from the early jazz and blues and the twenties and thirties, , and traditional jazz. The band consists of tuba, trombone, cornet, tenor banjo/guitar, vocals, washboard, and occasionally clarinet. The band has

7 gained a loyal following through their distictibe sound, their commitment to reviving long-lost songs, and their barnstorming live performances." Patrick O'Brienil Love the guy on the washboard wonderful rhythm & timing.They all make a wonderful sound.I am sure if the musicians from the early 20th Century could hear them they would heartily approve. Gene Parrish Wow! Where have I been? Just heard Tuba Skinny for the first time today on You Tube. They're so unique - no words to describe! It's & novelty rolled into one. Wish I didn't live so far away from New Orleans. Mike Tabecki The music of this band is so uplifting & it just makes me want to haul up my old bones & dance with my wife. I just love it! It would be a delight if you are able to tour the UK sometime in the future. Over & out. Bill Keen Shaye has Tuba Skinny playing to perfection. Without a doubt the best dixie land band playing today. Do miss Erica Lewis vocals though.  Steve Dixon Pops Coffee writes in his blog: "Tuba Skinny have introduced a beautiful slow-paced song, Owl Call Blues, to their repertoire. It is gloriously sung by Erika Lewis. The melody was written by Shaye Cohn and the lyrics by Erika herself. What a team!" Harry de Raat Hello Erika, thanks a lot for let me be a part of your "music family". I hope to enjoy along time from your beautifull sound. Greetings, Harry de Raat, the . Derek Winters Have followed your music for some time and just a great pleasure to meet and to hear you live live on the Street corner in April this year. Best wishes from the UK Kent Storm Hello Erika! Thank you for accepting me. I realy like your music and go on rocking the world with it. In my opinion do the Tuba Skinny Jazz band express pure unpretentious musical joy, talent and brilliance. The mix of different musical personalitys makes an expression wich feels fresh, happy, and alive possible. It is not a blend of totily clinical and boring perfect music. It is a blend that makes the expression more than perfect, in my eyes. More directly in contact with the listener, wich conveys both brilliant teknic, generosity and a big heart. So take care of you all as a group. It is you all together that makes you totily wonderful. //Kent Rich Aguilar I have been an avid follower of Tuba Skinny since 2012. They have brought a ton of happiness to me over that time. They are my absolute favorite Jazz Band and I look forward to seeing them live soon.

8 Wayne Huttoe This band is the best. I went to New Orleans last year and really liked the music in the streets. When I got home I saw Tuba Skinny on YouTube. Now I can't stop watching.

Edie O'Connell Happy to hear historical music staying alive. Great job, great music. Possibly the best.

Sakari Oksanen Great music! Hope to see you in Europe one day. Greetings from Finland.

Steve Miller Saw you the other night s The Maison, & I was really impressed! I used to work every now & then for Squirrel Nut Zippers @ Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte, and while I'd like to compare them to you , I just can't...... Youre way better than SNZ. Even my 15 year old son admitted you guys were awesome! Oswald Dorn Ich liebe diese Musik, jeden Abend zieh ich mir ein paar Titel von Euch rein

Clément Bourgeon Nothings better than Tuba skinny !!! Jack Livings Great sound true to the Music. Pleasure to listen to.

Tubof Closs My favorite band! Your music is my medicine! I want to go back to New Orleans!

Richard Puttock Just recently discovered Tuba Skinny. In my opinion, they really shine out in an environment full of many talented musicians. In short, they are GREAT! Dick Vermeulen Nu zit Shaye Cohn achter een Piano, maar het maakt niet uit welk instrument, zij speelt bijna allen. Met dank aan de filmmaker DIGITALALEXA UIT New Orléans, Thanks Steve On the moon? They travel all over the World so, a famous Band

“Still mining the early jazz, blues and ragtime that have made them local favorites, this New Orleans combo is not only reaching further into the archives but also polishing originals that fit nearly seamlessly into the catalogue.

... the strength of these young players remains their ensemble work. In tune after tune, the core instrumental sextet nails the classic New Orleans contrapuntal collective improvisation, instantly evoking another era while at the same time delightfully of the moment.” — CLEA SIMON (OFFBEAT, APRIL 2016)

11 “To call Tuba Skinny revivalists would be to miss the point. The New Orleans ensemble, often seen busking on Royal Street, have never conceded the death of the early jazz and blues they play... That’s a tribute to the masterful ease of these relatively young musicians who laze and weave around each other as if bebop never happened. Alternating solos and call- and-response vocals on this, their sixth release, the eight players here show a comfortable fluency in their pre-1940s idioms.” — CLEA SIMON (OFFBEAT, OCTOBER 2014)

13 “This is shake your booty with a cold-one in your hand music. Their take on rarely recorded songs such as the sly come-on “Papa’s Got Your Bath Water On” or Skip James’ cold-blooded murder ballad “Crow Jane” are poignant, yet fun... kudos to Tuba Skinny for getting some of the great yet lesser-played songs of the New Orleans repertoire (particularly the tunes including “New Orleans Bump”) back into action.” — DAVID KUNIAN (OFFBEAT SEPTEMBER 2012)

17 Formed in 2009, Tuba Skinny has steadily evolved from a loose collection of street musicians into a solid ensemble dedicated to bringing the traditional New Orleans sound to audiences around the world. Drawing on a wide range of musical influences—from spirituals to Depression-era blues, from ragtime to traditional jazz—their sound evokes the rich musical heritage of their New Orleans home. The band has gained a loyal following through their distinctive sound, their commitment to reviving long-lost songs, and their barnstorming live performances. They've released 8 albums.

Jean-Pierre De Smet et René Chalandon ont consacré leur vie depuis des années à l’amour du Dixieland et Jazz Traditionnel. Ils sont tous les deux tombés amoureux de Tuba Skinny dès leur première écoute en 2010. Ils se sont associé pour organiser cette tournée européenne en France Belgique et Pays-Bas.

Jean-Pierre De Smet a, depuis 1955 organisé des manifestations en Belgique, une trentaine de voyages à la Nouvelle-Orléans et écrit plusieurs livres sur cette ville. Il joue de la clarinette et a consacré une page Facebook à cet instrument. [email protected]

René Chalandon a découvert cette musique un peu plus tard lorsqu’il a entendu le PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND à Nice en 1976. Depuis cette année-là, il a participé à une première association pour faire venir des musiciens européens dans la région lyonnaise puis a créé en 1981 sa propre association JAZZOGIE afin d’importer des disques de Jazz New Orleans et organiser des concerts et de voyages dans les festivals de ce style. Le prochain sera le JAZZ AND HERITAGE FESTIVAL 2018 qu’il organise pour la onzième fois. [email protected]
