Larkspur Landing Music Series: Stompy Jones June 13, 2008

Stompy Jones is a San Francisco based sextet, renowned for their jumpin' rhythm, wailing improvisations, hip charm and explosive stage show created in 1998, a relatively recent time when considering its members are all veteran musicians well steeped in the traditions of Swing, Boogie Woogie, early Rhythm and Blues and Jazz.

"Little David" Rose's thumpin' stand-up bass, Leor Beary's swinging double-shuffle drumming and the rolling boogie-woogie piano of Scott Lawrence provide the foundation. Riffing on top is Rob Dehlinger 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 Chris Binnings. Generations of music fans will fall in love with Stompy Jones over and over again.
