Granddaughter of Al Cohn, saxophonist with Woody Herman etc. and Marilyn Moore, jazz singer, and daughter of Joe Cohn, guitarist etc., Shaye originally trained as a classical pianist.

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.
