Our band started in the 1950's and was well known here in Rochester. We now have extended our territory to all of upstate NY! Also of the time period was Jack Mahue and the Salt City 6, Gene Mayl's Dixieland Rhythm Kings. Don't forget the Cullum's Happy Jazz Band, the Boll Weavels of (Detroit?)<BR>
