The Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society is pleased to present 
Sacramento's own Mardi Gras Band. Since its formation in 1984, 
with its tasty arrangements, world-class musicianship and 
hilarious comedy bits, the MGB has become one of the most sought 
after bands, both locally as well as  on the jazz festival 
circuit. Dick Johnson (leader and arranger) , began his musical 
career while still in highschool playing with local San Francisco 
area bands. After college, he "Went on the road" playing with 
"Name" Swing bands and comedy acts. For a time, Dick served as 
music director with the Spike Jones Show. 
 
Featured with the Mardi Gras Band is Ms. Claudette Stone, one of 
the West Coast's top vocalists. Add to this the cream of the crop 
of Sacramento area wmusicians to round out the distinctive MGB 
sound and we have a great afternoon of fun, entertaining Jazz.
