Gary Kiser sent this link to some new videos of his band Sac-a-Pulses, a very hot jazz band from France.

Re: Some hot bell-front tuba jass!
That band has ben around for a while - always one of my favorites in the style. They did a fun take on an New Orleans standard "La Groupie Du Tuba" (Papa De Da Da) back on their first CD in 1995.

I know he has at least one 20J - he played it at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee a few years ago. Gary is from the USA originally, (the Sacramento area, I think) but he has lived in France for many years.TUbajohn20J wrote:so is that a 20J of some sort? i like it!! and he sounds great

I got 2 of their cd's from CDBaby few years ago. I love it! I got it mainly because of soprano sax player Christian Vaudecranne resembles the sound of all time best soprano sax player Sidney Bechet.

Re: Some hot bell-front tuba jass!
"Jass" is, legendarily at least, the original spelling of what is now "Jazz".
The purported first band to use that word, "The Original Dixieland Jass Band", was originally called "The Original Dixieland Band". Here's where the legend comes into play...at one of their gigs, someone yelled "jass it up boys!", using a word that was popular for, um...copulation. The band decided to incorporate the word into their name, and the name stuck for the music.
Another part of the legend says that people were defacing the band's posters by scribbling out the J. So, they changed the spelling.
How much of this is factual? The band's names, for certain, and the change from "Jass" to "Jazz". Beyond that, hard telling.
But all this is in wikipedia, I'm sure.
