Stompy Jones with their vintage attire and romping small-band swing, these fellas have injected a healthy dose of "Central Avenue" inspired Rhythm & Blues into the current roots music scene. Little David's thumpin' stand-up bass, Bowen Brown's swinging double-shuffle drumming and the rolling boogie-woogie piano of Scott Lawrence provide the foundation. Riffing on top is Tim Hyland on trumpet and Jeff "Erv" Ervin on tenor and alto saxophone. Together these two highly respected "take-off men" create the fireworks of vintage jazz. At center stage, the "swing man" rejoicing and shouting the blues is the irrepressible Peter "Pops" Walsh!
Whether they're appearing at a posh supper club, concert hall, or a little place "just down the road apiece" these fellas deliver high-fidelity, high flying, eight-to-the-bar romance with every performance. Stompy Jones delivers the romping, joyous style of jazz that would come to be known as Rock and Roll.
This San Francisco sextet is renowned for their jumpin' rhythm, wailing improvisations, and relentless energy. They've been driving up the cultural temperature in California with their hip charm, retro style, and explosive stage show. These coast to coast journeymen of jump have been playing boogie-woogie, vintage jazz and blues to crowds of all-ages. From the Lincoln Center in NYC, the Half Note Jazz Club in Athens, Greece, the Santa Monica Pier, Eureka?s Concert on the Pier, to the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee and holding down every Tuesday night at the Broadway Studios in San Francisco for the past 4 years.
