New Orleans should be preserved as an historical site in the history of American music. It is part of the backbone in American music and its historical importance can not be overstated.

Impossible not to feel the deep groove during the drummer's solo at 6:25 and the chords that come right after man

Perfect Tuesday morning jams

Quarantine with the Tiny Desk Concert series is like heaven. Thank you!

Went to NOLA a few years back and the music in clubs and on street corners was AMAZING!! We ended each night in the same club for some Zydeco. Believe me when I say, this music is good for the soul.

Amazingly clean, nobody stepped on nobody's toes-lots of space even the rhythm guitarist had his own groove going on in between everybody. Just goes to you don't have to be loud or a show-off if you play within the music-although there are times when you have to fire up a dead audience. This wasn't that time. These guys are good, they are pros. I love it.

swooning over that handsome drummer.

the sousaphone TUBA bass player id incredible the sound is just fabulous !! and also the rest of the band sounds like a real BIG band !!! ohhhh yeaaaaaaah !!!

This one never gets old no matter how many time I watch it.

I wanna congratulate the engineers on a lively balanced sound. I guess those all books at back do a good job!

Amazing. The Japanese dude plays really well, not to mention the stage presence with the faces he pulls

Most underrated bass factory of all time...That tuba, mic'd right, sounds really phenomenal.

Some of the greats here, folks! Had the privilege to see Dirty Dozen live in Seattle a couple years ago, and got to hang out and chat with their incredible tuba player, Kirk Joseph, afterwards. Amazing lineage here, and some of the purest musicianship you'll ever find.

That is one smooth drummer, sounding like that, in a sweater & tie, and yet not breaking a sweat.

Magic tuba player!!! So groovy! It seems like any bass guitar players should take lessons from this guy!)))

If their playing doesn't put a smile on your face I don't know what will.

Mercy Lord! That drum solo gave me the goosebumps!

Excellent music that remembers me a little from the best of the 70's bands. Wishing this kind of music comes again.

So much pure happiness. We all need more of this.

I will never forget the work these guys did on Dave Matthews first solo album 'Some Devil' been a fan ever since, and the music just keeps coming.

Much love for the Dirty Dozen... shout out to Kirk Joseph for walking that sousaphone badder than any bass line!

blast from the past. keep 'em coming...love it

Awesome and enticing performance. Thanks for including this talented bunch in your tiny desk series.

Tiny desk concerts never cease to amaze me.

I inherited my grandads trombone 1 week ago and having so much fun learning. Now I am able to jam and this vid has helped me so much. Dancing around the front room learning some melodies. Love it. :)

Love this band. I am going to watch for them traveling, and Big Easy has been on my bucket list forever.

The funk just got serious. My hat is off to whoever is doing the arranging for this group, cause they can write their ass off!

These guys are awesome! I've been listening to them ever since I watched this.

They're all fabulous! I've seen them live before but it's been some time. Gotta look up there schedule. :)

Love these guys from the first ten seconds

I had the pleasure to listen to Efrem perform at Jackson Square, NOLA, the other night. I was doing some research on him and found this video. Totally mind blown I was talking to a legend and didn't realize it!

Every instrument crazy cool! I really enjoyed the whole performance! Thank you Dirty Dozen!

KZread's suggested videos of NPR does not disappoint. I always discover great music here.

My God That drummer is so clean and absolutely grooves. The reverse traditional grip is pretty wild as well. Hands for days!

love the tiny desk in general, and this band is no exception! keep on keepin on

I saw them on a late night talk show ..Letterman, I think about 30 years ago..... and have been a fan ever since.. Wish someone would upload that performance, cause it was MAGIC !!.

thanks for the good vibes and all the positive consequences resulting from the good vibes!

He has got to be one of the most skilled Sousaphone players I have ever heard. Those basslines... er... brasslines are just perfect.

About my 10th time watching this, and it's still as good as it was the first time. Just really joyful musicians.

I remember when I saw you in a Jazz Festival in Madrid so many years ago!! Simply fantastic!!!

I'm glad to be able to call Efrem a friend. Love that trumpet.

That cheered my Thursday evening up.

Du pur bonheur, un band fantastique. Seulement au service de la musique, pas dans le culte de l’image ni de l’ego. Des acteurs qui ont une vie riche derrière eux. Beaucoup, plein de choses à raconter. Excellent le virage dans le style AfroJazz, façon Sonny Rollins.

the phrasing of the sax here is incredible lotta love

Kirk Joseph!!!!!! sousaphon so Rockin! I never seen it so jammin, I have become a better person.... thanks for this!

They make it look so easy! Great stuff!

Wow, I put on some music to bear with a bad work day and I've ended up clapping and dancing in front of the PC. Great mood!!
