[Dixielandjazz] Sac a Pulses dixieland-band in Oklahoma

[Dan Augustine]

DJML and others--
     This morning i stumbled across the following 
news-relsease at 
http://www.jazzadvocate.com/News%20Release/ by 
TubaBrother Gary Kiser of the Sac a pulses 
dixieland-band in France:

"E-mail from Gary Kiser: gary at kiser.org
Bonjour, My name is Gary Kiser.  I was born in 
California but now live in Clermont-Ferrand.  On 
July 30, 2005, my jazz band, Sac à Pulses, will 
be playing a concert in Norman, Oklahoma, a 
sister city of Clermont-Ferrand.  We will then 
continue on to California for the Orange County 
Jazz Festival in Costa Mesa, August 4-7, 2005. 
As there are no direct flights to Oklahoma City, 
we will have to change planes somewhere. 
Cincinnati is often our port of entry into the 
United States.  If you were interested in a 
concert by Sac à Pulses or had any ideas where we 
could play, we could arrange to stop for the 
night rather than just changing planes.  We have 
played for the Alliance Française -- mostly in 
Spain -- in the past.  You can visit our very out 
of date website at http://www.sacapulses.com "

     As luck would have it, i had just been 
listening to his fine jazz tuba solos on the CD 
by Sac a Pulses called "C'est Pas Ma Faute!" and 
was browsing the web for information on him and 
his band.  Even though i don't know French, I 
really like their playing, which is energetic and 
expert.
     I'm considering driving up to Norman in July 
to hear them, but maybe they'll be offered some 
gigs closer to Austin, so more folks can hear how 
good they are (hint hint).
