Polly's Hot Paupers recreates the original arrangements of Armstrong,
Morton and Bigard with an acoustic blend over a hot bed of rhythm.
They deliver a well-rehearsed, variety of repertoire with the intrigue
of Bix and the fire of Louis. Their dynamics fuel a slow burn to
exciting shout choruses.
The musicians of Polly's Hot Paupers include:
Polly Edgerton, Leader, on Reeds
Richard Leupp on Trombone and Vocals
Bob Sakoi on Trumpet
Tom Clark on Bass
Rod Roberts on Piano
Soren Bloch on Drums
Jeff Green on Banjo
Spacious Dance Floor. The Elks has Food and a full bar.
One month later, NVDJS will feature Ted Shafer's JELLY ROLL JAZZ Band
on Sunday, January 12, 2003 from 1-5 PM at the same location.
