The San Francisco based Natural Gas Jazz Band has been delighting its 
audiences since 1970.  This surprising longevity of 38 years is the 
result of a singularly stable band lineup, a musical book of broad 
appeal, and gifted musicians who enjoy creating jazz together.

The NGJB is strongly imprinted with he influences of its late San 
Francisco friends, jazz legends Lu Watters and Turk Murphy.  Former 
Murphy and Watters sidemen have been longtime NGJB players as well as 
frequent substitutes.  Its book is also rich with the music of Jelly 
Roll Morton, Bix Beiderbecke, Fats Waller, and others.  The listener can 
expect to hear stomps, blues, rags, marches, spirituals, and dances of 
all moods and tempos.

One month later, NVDJS will feature And That's Jazz on Sunday, September 
14th, 2008 from 1-5 PM at the same location.

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