[Dixielandjazz] High Sierra hanging it up

[Jim O'Briant]

A few more details, in the form of rumors from a very reliable source:

 

The projected new name of the band, as a successor to the High Sierra Jazz Band, will be the “Sierra Seven.”

 

Personnel will reportedly be (again, from a very reliable source):

 

Cornet – Mark Caparone

Reeds – Peter Meijers

Trombone – Howard Miyata

Tuba – Paul Hagglund

Banjo – Scott Anthony

Piano – Ray Templin

Drums – Charlie Castro

 

The same source tells me that the “Sierra Seven” are booked for the Hot Jazz Jubilee in Rancho Cordova, CA (a suburb of Sacramento) this coming Labor Day Weekend.

 

Once again, all of the above information is unofficial and unconfirmed, but the source of my information is someone who’s in a position to know. I think this will be a band worth hearing, and worth hiring!

 

Jim O’Briant, Gilroy, CA

Tuba / Leader
