3 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE BARBARA KINNEY WOW! What a Rich Owens Thrown TogetherJazz Band did for us at the June session. It was a barn burner. Rich and his piano headed up a group of splendid musicians. Adam Roderick on drums, Keith Baltz, tuba, Tom Belmessieri and Larry Blake, trumpets, Mike Young, reeds, Carl Lundsford, banjo and Jack Gerken, trombone. We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful musicians in the Bay Area. Thank heaven they love to play. Didn t you enjoy the twin trombones in the second Jam Set? That was Philip Rice and Jack Gerken. How about Zach Maher on tuba? Zach just graduated high school and will be majoring in music at San Jose State. Extra thanks to Zach, he arrives early and helps set up the sound system. For more wonderful live music, be here July 27 for Creole Jazz Kings. Barbara Kinney, President Peggy Louise Butler Peggy Louise Butler, a 36-year resident of Granite Bay, left this world behind into the loving arms of her Lord on May 28, She was 71 years of age. Peggy was a longtime volunteer for the Sacramento Jazz Society and also worked in her retirement years as secretary in the STJS office. She and her husband, Charles W. Butler - a former heavy-duty tire sales engineer as well as a longtime editorial staff member for the Auburn Journal - literally traveled the globe in pursuit of their passion, traditional jazz, and was instrumental in founding the short-lived Auburn Jazz Festival held at the Gold Country Fairgrounds in the mid 1980 s. She counted some of the world s greatest jazz musicians in her wide circle of friends and touted the High Sierra Jazz Band of Three Rivers, Calif., among her favorite groups. During the late 1980 s, the Butlers published the short-lived but widelyacclaimed four-color glossymagazine on trad jazz, Storyville Notes. Donations in her name may be made to Shriners Childrens Hospital. The music in my heart I bore long after it was heard no more. William Wordsworth Please Help! We are scheduling a very special band for our Sunday, Dec. 28th holiday party. We need to develop a sponsorship team to make it happen.

5 THE 25 th ANNIVERSARY SAN JOSE JAZZ SUMMER FEST There is a San Jose Jazz Society that has been around for a long time, but they seem to lean toward jazz of later years that we present. Like us, they want to keep the art form alive so they have sponsored a weekend jazz festival in downtown San Jose for many years and have brought in big name artists of many genres and styles that appear on several (perhaps ten) stages around the core of South First Street, the city s old Main Drag. This August they will have a trad jazz band on one of their stages after the suggestion of one of our valued members who has a connection with SJJS. The Board of this organization decided we would sponsor a band we present often and chose Bob Schulz Frisco Jazz Band to represent OKOM. So keep August 9th open to attend to show that our music is truly significant. That single set will be at the Gordon Biersch (a restaurant brewpub) outdoor stage at South Second and East San Fernando Streets at six p.m. There is no entry fee for this stage so it could be crowded, and it is a good place to eat. South Bay Trad Jazz Reaches Out!! A good week before this event the San Jose Mercury will have publicity about this whole weekend and probably a pull-out section exclusively about it on a Sunday before or maybe Thursday. The weekly giveaway paper, Metro, is usually a sponsor of the festival and gives it good early coverage, too. Do look for those outlets and see how this festival works. You may want to hear more. There is a charge for a single day wrist band, (perhaps $20.) for entry into some stages. Parking is hard to get downtown but there are parking garages along First and Second streets. A good remedy would be to use the VTA light rail system and seniors ride fora special rate from a vending machine. There are free parking lots adjacent to the trolley line in many areas not far from downtown Go to VTA.org for info, routes and maps. Let s show that our music is worth the effort!!!

6 CD Review This is the second in a series of fourteen limited edition CD s, reissuing material by the band that previously appeared on LP s mainly on their own label but also on a few other small labels, such as Philo, Philips, and Dirty Shame and on cassette tapes. Some of these cassettes were issued simultaneously with the LP s but also contained additional tracks. Other cassettes with different material were issued in that format only. When the company that produced the cassettes went out of business, the digital masters were returned to the band. These form the basis of most of the material on this CD set. This particular CD is a reprise of the LP by the same title, with one track from the LP (Black Eagle Skuffle) omitted and the last six tracks on the CD added from another concert performance to augment the playing time. The following are some comments on some of the tracks on this recording. The disc opens with Wild Man Blues, replete with its many breaks one of Morton s signatures which are taken by several different instruments. MacDonald takes those on the opening and closing ensembles as well as those where he plays lead, and he demonstrates his range as he covers all of the registers. Pilsbury takes the second run through and provides a great variety in the breaks from singlefinger-note runs to block chords, the latter with increasing crescendo, which adds to the excitement. Finally, Pringle s cornet in the next ride gently massages the breaks with a breathy piano to pianissimo range. The next tune, I Found a New Baby, is taken at a fast tempo, led by soprano sax. This is aided and enhanced by the straight four of the tuba, which Newberger manages thanks to his mastery of circular breathing. The track cooks all the way. It is followed by the lovely I m Travellin, a slow gospel tune that is not in the repertoire of most jazz bands these days. Pilsbury s piano solo is a thing of beauty, and Pameijer s muffled tom tom accents laid down behind Pringle s cornet solo are just right. Another slow tune follows, Lil Hardin s Skit-Dat-De-Dat. The opening statement is made by cornet and then, in turn, by clarinet, piano, and trombone, with a tom tom roll being featured on the crescendo of the ride out, making for a very satisfying rendition of this emotionally charged tune. You Made Me Love You is not the You Made Me Love You (I Didn t Want to Do It), the 1913 pop song by James V. Monaco and Joseph McCarthy, but rather the one by Percy Venable and Louis Armstrong. Somewhat in the same vein, Wild Cat Blues is often wrongly attributed to Sidney Bechet since his recording of it is seen by many as definitive. Actually it was written by Clarence Williams and Fats Waller. Here Stan MacDonald is featured on soprano sax à la Bechet, up-tempo. Next, Snag It brings the tempo back to a sedate level. A King Oliver composition, it features cornet, as might be expected, but there is also thoughtful tuba soloing in its midst. Pringle takes the breaks leading up to the coda with aplomb. It is followed by the finale of this 1973 recording session, a rousing rendition of Wilbur de Paris Wrought Iron Rag. It is taken at a breathtaking tempo, with Newberger again doing the impossible by playing a straight four/four without stopping to take a breath. The extremely fast tempo is maintained without flagging or any band member s getting lost truly a tour de force, as the audience s rousing applause attests. 6 by Bert Thompson NEW BLACK EAGLE JAZZ BAND IN CONCERT (OWN LABEL: BE[LECD]4002). Playing time: 77m. 35s. Wild Man Blues; I Found a New Baby; I m Travellin ; Skit-Dat-De-Dat; You Made Me Love You; Wild Cat Blues; Snag It; Wrought Iron Rag; Introduction of Gil Roberts; Someday Sweet Heart; Girl of My Dreams; After You ve Gone; Down in Honky Tonky Town; Till We Meet Again. Recorded live at WGBH, Boston, Oct. 29, 1973, and New England Life Hall, Boston, Sept. 28, 1974.Personnel: Tony Pringle, cornet, leader; Stan McDonald, clarinet & soprano sax; Stan Vincent, trombone; Peter Bullis, banjo, manager; Bob Pilsbury, piano; C. H. Pam Pameijer, drums; Eli Newberger, tuba. Add Gil Roberts, banjo and vocal on last five tracks. The last six tracks feature a banjo player, Gil Roberts ( ), who goes way back, according to the Rev. A. L. Kershaw s introduction. It seems at one time or another he played with Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and Tommy Ladnier impressive credentials, one might say. He was a member of the Blue Ribbon Syncopaters and recorded some half dozen tunes with them in 1925, but he made no recordings with the afore-mentioned jazz pioneers. At the time of this recording he was in his late seventies, apparently having been inactive musically for many years until discovered by Stan MacDonald and encouraged to resume playing banjo. He was then adopted by the New Black Eagles and appeared with them on numerous occasions, including this one. Having said all of that, I must confess that I was not particularly struck by his playing. It had a little too much of the vaudevillian about it for my taste one might think a little of Ikey Robinson. He is much given to single string runs, both ascending and descending, and interjected yesses and other expressions of encouragement. On some tracks, he sings or partly sings/partly speaks the words. Without wishing to sound harsh, I don t think he adds a great deal, but it was a kind gesture by the band to give this veteran player some recognition. This CD provides over an hour of enjoyable New Orleans-style jazz in typical New Black Eagles fashion. According to the band, ordering information is as follows: The 14 CD s are a set only in that they represent 14 reissues of LPs and Cassettes from the earlier days of the Black Eagles. We have not priced them as a set and have typically sold them as individual items. You can find them by going to To the right of the window you will see four lists - aisle 1, 2, 3 and 4. Click on aisle 2 and you will have an order form listing all 14 of the CDs.

7 Aug. 10 The Professors Aug. 3 Art Bregante Orchestra KCSM fm Drops Live From the Riverwalk As of the first of of June KCSM radio from Colllege of San Mateo made a lot of changes in their programming. The Sunday evening slots of six p.m.and eight p.m. have been filled with significant changes. Your editor made a major goof with what was printed in the June Beat. An inquiry to the station brought the answer from programming manager Alisa Clancy that the Jim Cullum band hadn t done anything new for over five years, and that old programs were being used or that mixes of material from different programs put together and given new titles. That last fact was obvious, but it was still good listening. Now at six p.m. Sunday Rhythm Retrospective with Carl Sonny Leyland is offered. It is followed at seven p.m. with the Annals of Jazz with Richard Hadlock which has been in that spot for a long time. At eight p.m. the late Ray Smith s programs have been dropped, too. The replacement is Summer in the Grotto with Jazzbeaux. That would be another deceased disk jockey, Fresno Dixieland Society MODESTO DIXIELAND JAZZ SOCIETY EVERY 3RD SUNDAY CLARION INN SISK RD. - MODESTO AUGUST 17 - HOT CITY FIVE p.m. Info: $8 members - $12 public SACRAMENTO TRAD.

The change that seems promising is for the Sunday six a.m. time slot where Clint Baker now has a two hour program called Breakfast, Dance & BBQ. There were some radio announcements beforehand that changes were coming, but this listener didn t catch them in time for earlier notification. As with much of modern communication listeners are expected to be able to learn all the answers through the Internet. kcsm.org is the key to that medium for the radio station. People who don t use computers must be thought of as not important. The Riverwalk programs are streamed through Stanford University by going to riverwalkjazz@stanford.edu, and there is a web site for the JIm Cullum Jazz Band. Readers in areas outside of the kcsm listening range could be still getting the programs on a station near to them. Hopefully, they ll share that information.
