Port City Jazz Band's history spans 32 years, beginning with the band's
founders, Bill Reinhart and Steve Drivon.  Although now based in
Berkeley, the band takes its name from its birthplace -- the inland port
of Stockton, California.

Five talented musicians have formed the core of the Port City Jazz Band
for the last twenty years.  The individual talents of the band members
combined with many years of working together, has a powerful result: an
extremely versatile jazz ensemble built on collective improvisation.

Port City Jazz Band successfully and beautifully incorporates
traditional jazz styles, creating an eclectic and unique sound.  Their
music is strong, rich and solid: perfect for listening and dancing, with
a repertoire that includes pop tunes, New Orleans street tunes, familiar
Dixieland favorites and some unusual delightful surprises.

Spacious Dance Floor.  The lodge has Food and a Full Bar.

One month later, NVDJS will feature the Jelly Roll Jazz Band on
Sunday, January 14th,  2007 from 1-5 PM at the same location.
