前几轮的分享好像反响还不错,但是都是偏大众的音乐家。这次我推荐一个我自己爱好的小众乐队 (至少在国内是),Tuba Skinny。
这个是一个活跃在新奥尔良街头的爵士乐队,风格和大家习惯的Bepop,Cool jazz, 包括现在的Fusion都不一样。更偏向20/30年代的新奥尔良风格,像Louis Armstrong这种,或者更像猫和老鼠里面的。
Wiki:
Tuba Skinny is a traditional jazz street band based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The band's instrumentation includes cornet, clarinet, trombone, tuba, tenor banjo, guitar, frottoir, and vocals. The ensemble draws its inspiration from the early jazz, ragtime, and blues music of the 1920s and 1930s.[1] The group began as an itinerant busking band and has performed around the world, including at music festivals in Mexico,[2] Sweden,[3] Australia,[4] Italy,[5] France,[5] Switzerland,[3] and Spain.[6][7]
For over a decade, Tuba Skinny "has grown steadily in popularity, releasing [ten] albums, frequently touring, and attracting high-profile fans from R. Crumb to Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman. They've garnered fans from all over the world—young and old, neophytes and niche-enthusiasts."[8] Their albums have garnered multiple awards,[9][10][11] and they have been hailed by Offbeat magazine, The Syncopated Times, and other publications as one of the best traditional early jazz bands performing today.[8][12][13]
The band is popular on YouTube with "more than 500 videos, many with 100,000-plus views, in a variety of languages."[8][3] However, the ensemble does not have an official YouTube page, and nearly all of the recorded footage is fan-made.[8][3] The band's fan base has been described as possessing a "lighthearted, fun, flapper vibe," a reflection of the Jazz Age time period evoked by their music.[14] Despite the band's global fame and frequent performances in nightclubs and at jazz festivals, they have continued to perform on the streets of New Orleans and other cities in order to maintain their intimate connection with audiences.[5][2]
当然大家可能更熟悉的是乐队的灵魂 - 小号手Shaye Cohn。她同时也是一个非常厉害的钢琴和小提琴手。
