Saturday Matinee Pre-Mardi Gras Edition – Tuba Skinny, Dr. John, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band & The Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Trad jazz band Tuba Skinny features bandleader Shaye Cohn on cornet. Performing and recording for over a decade, they’re branching out into jug band music, spirituals, country blues, string band music, ragtime, and New Orleans R&B.
Malcolm John Rebennack Jr., aka Dr. John (1941-2019), was known for his mix of jazz, blues, R&B and soul flavored with New Orleans Mardi Gras, swamp rock and a pinch of voodoo. Gitcha gris gris gumbo ya ya.
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band formed in New Orleans in 1977, playing traditional jazz mixed with bebop, funk, R&B and soul, and resurrected classic Second Line rhythms.
New Orleans’ famous Preservation Hall Jazz Band was founded by Pennsylvanian Allan Jaffe in the early 1960s as a dixieland revival group, aimed at reviving the careers of the early jazz greats and preserving traditional jazz.
Nope, I didn’t forget. Here’s a story of Valentine’s Day in 1933.
