Since 1959, Ted Shafer has led both two-cornet bands and smaller New
Orleans style combos under the "Jelly Roll Jazz Band" name.

Few contemporary traditional jazz bands can match the breadth and scope
of the JRJB repertoire: obscurities associated with Ma Rainey, Tiny
Parham, Johnny Dodds, King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, and the Dixieland
Jug Blowers; compositions by Lu Watters and Turk Murphy and originals by
young revivalists such as Charlie Sonnanstine, Roy Giomi, Robin Wetterau
and Sanford Newbauer.

The lineup of musicians expected to play for us on the 13th include:

Ted Shafer, Leader, on Banjo
Ken Keeler, Banjo
Leon Oakley, Cornet
Manny Alcantar, Trumpet
Glenn Calkins, Trombone
Pete Main, Reeds
Jim O'Briant, Tuba
Bert Thompson, Drums

One month later, NVDJS will feature the Bear Republic Jazz Band on
Sunday, February 10th, 2008 from 1-5 PM at the same location.

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