Dear David,

There are a lot of Jazz Clubs around where you can sit in and start getting known.  

Sacramento meets once a month on the 2nd Sunday of the month at the Dante Club, 2330 Fair Oaks Blvd. in Sacramento, noon - 5:00 PM.  Talk to Paula Dula in the Gold Card Room and Jane Reinmuth in the Tailgate room.  Also look me up.  I'm usually in the Main room, or at the bar...  

Modesto and Stockton have once a month Jazz club meetings.  

Also two or 3 in the SF Bay area.  

BTW- Good tuba players are rather scarce around here.
