Tuba Skinny - Springfield Stomp

One of the fun things about watching Tuba Skinny play in New Orleans during the summer is you never know what their lineup might look like. Here we have Max on upright bass and David Boeddinghaus sitting in on piano. Recorded at dba, 7-6-24.

Many thanks, Randy, for being there to video this performance for us, with a rare line-up. Good to see Max on double bass - and even using the bow during the Middle Eight of Robin's solo chorus. This piece was composed in 1929 by Cecil Scott and his pianist Don Frye. We need only listen to the original recording made in New York that year by Cecil Scott and His Bright Boys ( ua-cam.com/video/U3I9ve13xjM/v-deo.html ) to appreciate how carefully and respectfully Tuba Skinny have produced their rifacimento. The clever little syncopated and percussive touches are there; and, like Scott, they choose the key of F. Scott had a different line-up, with a piano, more reeds and two trumpets, but Tuba Skinny have adapted his melodies and breaks very skilfully to suit their resources. They choose to end the piece surprisingly peacefully, replacing the dramatic syncopated climb of the original Scott with a gentle descent.

You folks ever cover any Hoagie Carmichael songs? I'm sure he's got quite the catalog to pick from...
