All That Jazz
with Jim Buchman &
Tom Barnebey
Everybody knows “Gentleman Jim” Buchmann. What a reed player; what a musician. When Jim joins a band on stage, everyone’s energy rises. Whatever the tune or the style of play, Jim plays within the band and adds a dimension of excitement. This will be a treat for everyone.
Tom Barnebey has been in trad jazz since the 1960s, when he began playing banjo and piano in pizza parlors around the Los
Angeles area, and cornet with the then newly formed Jelly Roll Jazz Band. After moving to Sonoma County, he led
the well regarded Jazz Salvation Company for 20 years.

Devil Mountain Jazz Band
San Joaquin, California
Website
DEVIL MOUNTAIN JAZZ BAND continues to develop their multi-style approach to preserving the popular music of the late 1800's through the early 1930's, and the west coast revival jazz of the 1940's. The eight piece concert/festival band is best known for the two trumpet sounds of the Joe Oliver and Lu Watters bands and the orchestrated "hot dance" music of the late twenties. You'll also hear DMJB perform ragtime, blues, "Dixieland" standards, gospel and novelty tunes, and an occasional duck-call by Pete Main, or assorted strange instrument solos by Pete, Glenn or Noel.
