From Nevada Appeal, June 16, 2005:
Tuesday night's Mile High Jazz Band concert was standing room only as the band was joined by local poets reading their works. Comma Coffee isn't really the kind of place one thinks of as a site for a heavy assault by a swing band, but it works out perfectly, creating a sort of front-parlor setting like a family clustered around a piano. Jakki Ford of Reno joined in with some fine songs, including "Back in Your Own Backyard. " Closing tune for first set was "Blues in Hoss Flat," by Frank Foster and Count Basie. Super soloists were Dean Carter, trombone, and JoJo Shelley, tenor sax. David Bugli conducted in his casual manner, and the bands section work was as precise as that of Count Basie.

I will be updating this page with press releases, photos, etc. at a later date. Please stop by again
