Surprise Visitor from Alabama
A great crowd enjoyed Creole Jazz Kings July 26. Keith Baltz ended the day with
“ It’s a Wonderful World”. The music does make a wonderful world. The second
Jam Set was a lot of fun. We had 3 banjos and three 3 trombones. One of the
trombones was a Contra Bass trombone, also described as a slide tuba. What a
great sound. You never know what treats are in store for us from our bands and
jammers. Now then, mark your calendars for August 23 when our featured band
will be the Zinfandel Stompers. Watch for band information elsewhere in the BEAT.
Have a great summer. See you all in August.

Jim Rouse, the Storage and
Equipment Manager for this
society would like help with the
heavy lifting he has done for many
years for us. This involves moving
the sound system equipment every
fourth Sunday from the storage
locker in Sunnyvale where it is kept
and bringing it to the Elks Lodge
to set it up prior to the session’s
start; also the breakdown of the
equipment and the return of it to
storage. Yes, this sounds like a big
responsibility. Hopefully, there is a
sturdy Dixieland lover among you
who would be willing to do this
work. Please contact any member
of the board at the entrance desk
or look for Jim at the sound board
along the back side of the
auditorium to learn more about how
you can help us.

Wonderful Weekend
in Washington
BY CAROL GOEDDE
For the last weekend in July it was off in an RV to Lacey
Washington for the 25th Annual America’s Classic Jazz
Festival but without Mary. Instead I was introducing an old
friend to my favorite music. We arrived Wednesday, a day
early and were hooked up right away. And got the welcome
news that The Jammers with Bert Barr and his wife, Rose
Marie, would be playing at cocktail time. We were just in
time. We grabbed chairs, umbrellas and a cocktail and off we
went. What a great start it was with people sharing appetizers
and dancing among 52 RVs from all over.
Thursday the music didn’t start until 7 p.m. which gave time
to fulfill the dream of seeing Mt. Rainier. It took two and half
hours to get there, and it was worth it to see that spectacular
mountain covered with snow and blue lupins, red paint brush
and yellow daisies. We toured the museum and walked around
before going back to Lacey just before the festival started. I
got this statement from my friend Eric on his first exposure to
Dixieland. “Lots of bands at this festival. You know, if a rock
and roll fan listens to classical music Mozart can sound just
like Beethoven. Good, but similar. In the same way most of
the Dixieland Jazz bands sound very similar. Good but similar.
There were a few exceptions, Tom Rigney who plays an electric
violin is very flamboyant. Exhibitionist even. He plays a wide
variety of music including Cajun/zydeco which I liked a lot.
He also has a boogie woogie pianist in his group. Toe tappin’
music!! The other group I liked was Tom Hook and the Terriers;
he played a piano in a three man group. Very personable and
an incredible pianist. When a band plays a certain type of
song, Carol starts her umbrella parade, passing out colorful
umbrellas and leading a parade around the aisles. What is a
manly man such as myself to do? Obviously, grab a handful
of umbrellas and follow Carol around trying to look cool,
sophisticated and fun loving all at the same time. Such fun!”
Many friends from South Bay were there. Suzanne Shynne,
David Florus and Sandy Hammonds, Doc and Bernice Eggen,
Rae Ann Berry, Phil and Geri Eggers, Carlos and Nancy
Tahmazian. Carlos was playing washboard with Uptown
Lowdown.
Dance lessons were taught on Friday and Saturday mornings.
Eric went and learned the fox trot and Balboa, and we had a
great time dancing. Other bands we heard and danced to were,
High Sierra, Black Swan with Red Hot Mama Marilyn Keller,
Ivory and Gold, The Wolverines, We Three and Ida Blue, guest
singer. She made a sweet song sassy, a bitter song raucous
and a love song raunchy. Jeff Barnhart/Charlotte’s Boys who
included Jim Buchmann-reeds, Jim Fryer-trombone, Bob
Schulz-cornet, Marty Eggers-bass and John Duffee-drums.
Charlotte Dickson deserves her own band with these high
powered musicians. She has led this festival for over 20 years
and is retiring at the age of 90 and turning the job over to Walt
Bowen. She will continue to support the board. The Fat Babies
with young musicians were loved by all. Fat Babies isn’t just
reading charts; they are a working band who know traditional
jazz idiom inside and out, and their repertoire includes the
usual standards as well as obscure Oliver/Armstrong/ Morton
tunes and pop tunes from the early 20’s and early 30’s. Great
music!
I think Eric’s hooked on jazz and dancing! And this was
reinforced by the return we got by buying raffle tickets to
support youth musicians. Yep! We were winners. We won an
all events badge to Evergreen Jazz festival in Colorado which
Eric is going to without me July 24th, 25th and 26, a Starbucks
basket and an all events badge for Three Rivers Festival in
April.
What can I say??? It was a fabulous festival and everyone
should try to get to Lacey next year.

This year was the 19th annual Cline Cellars Wine &
Dixieland Jazz Festival, and it was another good
one.Festival Director Ken Keeler made a few changes in the
Festival’s tried-and true format, inviting eight Traditional Jazz
Bands instead of the usual six. This meant that some bands
played two sets instead of three, but it brought additional variety
to a festival that has tended to feature the same bands year
after year. The usual groups were Black Diamond Blue Five,
Devil Mountain Jazz Band, Golden Gate Rhythm Machine
(this year with Pat Yankee), Natural Gas Jazz Band, and the
Royal Society Jazz Orchestra. In the usual “finale” set, the
Jambalaya Swing Band added players from several of the
other bands, for a “big band” set.This year’s major “out-of-
town” group, Ray Skjelbred and His Cubs, were well received,
as they generally are at festivals everywhere.
Rounding out the band lineup was the Zenith Jazz Band. When
Ted Shafer retired from playing last fall, he also retired the
“Jelly Roll Jazz Band” name and handed the band over to
cornetist Earl Scheelar. Earl now leads what is basically the
same band under the “Zenith Jazz Band” banner. Ted Shafer
was there, looking as healthy as he as in several months.
He heard both the Zenith Jazz Band sets and appeared
pleased with what Earl is doing with the band.
Another staple of the Cline Festival has been piano music,
both ragtime and jazz, on the Tasting Room porch. For 2015,
this tradition continued with music from Frederick Hodges,
Ray Skjelbred, Bob Ringwald, Virginia Tichenor, Tom Brier
and Tom Barnebey.
A major factor in evaluating the Festival’s success is the
weather. It can be blistering hot with no wind, it can be
windy and chilly. This year’s weather was just about perfect,
with temperatures in the mid to upper 70’s and just enough
gentle breeze to be refreshing.
