Tuba Skinny, Blue Chime Stomp (Independent)
Seven recordings in and Tuba Skinny have established themselves as more than revivalists. Still mining the early jazz, blues and ragtime that have made them local favorites, this New Orleans […]
Tuba Skinny, Owl Call Blues (Independent)
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 […]
Tuba Skinny Stays on the Street
It’s easy to understand why musicians who can’t get indoor gigs would play on the streets for tips. It’s harder to understand why they would keep busking even after […]
