The sixth Good Times Jazz Concerts Series (GTJCS) concert will be held this
Saturday, February 14 (Valentine's Day) at the Adventureland Inn & Resort
(just east of Des Moines, Iowa at the intersection of Interstate 80 and
Highway 65) and will feature The New Red Onion Jazz Babies from Kansas City,
Missouri
They got their start in June 1981 at the Bristol Bar and Grill on Kansas
City's Country Club Plaza. The Bristol was THE place to be in Kansas City
on Sunday nights for the entire 15 years of the Babies' stint there--it
meant good music, good food, and good fun! Four of the band members
appearing in Des Moines on Saturday were on the band in 1981.
Though the Bristol on the Plaza is gone, the band definitely carries on.
National festivals started inviting them in 1987, so the NROJB continue
their tradition of good music around the country. Traditional Jazz and
Dixieland are the band's hallmarks, and there are few bands better.
Visit their website at: wwww.newredonionjazzbabies.com
The concert will start at 7:00 p.m. in Adventureland Inn's largest ballroom
on the second floor of the hotel. There is an elevator just outside the
main door to the ballroom. There are a limited number of $15 General
Admission concert tickets available.
This is a non-smoking venue and there will be a dance floor. Band souvenirs
