The Alcatraz Angels is a band that was a year and a half in the making.
Drummer Tony Poligono attended jam sessions and festivals weekly to hand
pick this ensemble from the Bay Area's best Dixieland musicians.  The 
result is an authentic and exciting New Orleans sound with a heavy 
rhythm section designed especially for dancing.  What makes this band
extraordinary: every member of the band plays over 300 tunes by
memory!

The musicians of Alcatraz Angels Jazz Band include:

Tony Poligono, Leader, on Drums
Dick Williams on Cornet
Jack Gerken on Trombone
Rick Elmore on Tuba
Rich Owens on Piano
Dave Cotter on Banjo

Spacious Dance Floor.  The Elks has Food and a full bar.

One month later, NVDJS will feature Devil Mountain Jazz Band on Sunday, 
September 8, 2002 from 1-5 PM at the same location.
