This is fun to watch, but to really get it, you have to be there! Treme does their fest set on Sunday, May 8 at the People's Health Economy Hall Jazz Tent at 12:25 pm.
What's way cool is that Tuba fats was also a street musician's name in New Orleans. Yes. He played tuba. He marched a bit, but you could always find him on Jackson Square - often with Lady Linda, a phenomenal blues & jazz singer.
They've both passed on - sadly neither of them were very old. Tuba's heart got him & Lady Linda had cancer. so sad.
The old man at 3:34-3:40 is priceless. He doesn't miss a beat! I mean.. this grove is in his spirit. There's really something about the bass drum and that cymbal. Love this video, and I bought the album b/c of it. AWESOME feeling!
This was so much fun! I was in the photo pit and Uncle Lionel whacked me in the head with his drum when they came down into the audience. What an HONOR LOL!

Lionel Batiste. He is great and I love his style. He makes Treme one of my favorite brass bands to listen to.
