All Members Welcome.
The Fulton Street Jazz Band was organized in the early seventies by pianist Bob Ringwald. Originally the band was an informal group that met once a week at a Sacramento pizza parlor to learn and play Dixieland tunes. The name of the thoroughfare the pizza parlor was located on was, of course, Fulton Avenue. The Fulton Street Jazz Band became more formalized in 1974 to play in the first Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, and is one of three bands to have played every Sacramento Jubilee since then.
When Ringwald moved to Los Angeles in 1979, Dean Nelson, the band's cornetist, took over leadership of the group and remained at the helm until late 2005. A few years ago, Ringwald returned to the Sacramento area. Late
in 1998, he returned to the band as the pianist and in 2005 has taken over the leadership of the band, when Dean retired from the group.
The Fulton Street Jazz Band is a Chicago-style band that plays in the tradition of Eddie Condon's New York bands of the 40's and 50's. This popular and fun-loving group has been featured at jazz festivals and on jazz cruises for over thirty years.
The band’s extensive and varied repertoire makes each performance an exciting and strong jazz statement. Fulton Street is a delight for listeners and dancers alike.
