Ready, set, dance to the
West End Stompers on June 14
T
he West End Stompers are made up
of some of Sacramento’s finest trad
and Swing musicians. Over the years,
each member has traveled the country
playing for Lindy exchanges, competitions, and jazz festivals. The band was
originally assembled for the Midtown
Stomp’s grand re-opening in West Sacramento (christened by co-owner Scott
Kaufman). The West End Stompers
continue to perform at Midtown Stomp
for special events, drawing upon the
sounds of Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller,
Duke Ellington, Eddie Condon, Jelly
Roll Morton, and many other giants
of Swing and New Orleans jazz. “The
Stompers” are sure to keep you dancing
all day long with their swingin’ tunes!
Original members Justin Au, Brandon
Au, and Otis Mourning will be joined on
June 14 by Bill Dendle, Zack Sapunor,
and Jack Stanfill. (Continued on page 5)

T
he 2015 Sacramento Music Festival
is done, and I would say that it was a
success. I think that the quality of music
that we brought in was quite good, and
everyone I talked to was having a good
time. The venues were mostly filled with
some exceptions. The Tower of Power
concert was AWESOME, and we were
almost filled to capacity. Malo was also
a huge success, as was the all-star band.
Thanks to the management team of
Dave Becker (your president) and Dennis
Grimes. I also want to thank the talent
selection folks of Todd Bibby, Julie
Deter, Kat Coffey and Dave Becker.
These folks put in many hours to select
the best talent we could find, and stay
within the budget allocated. I should also
include in this list Janet Young, as she
was responsible for getting the International All-Stars band to Sacramento, and
the management and logistics required.
HORIZ.

Also, Janet did more than anyone else to
market the festival by providing flyers at
other festivals and jazz cruises.
A big thanks goes out to the new managers for: Turntable (Laurel and Larry
Sanders), Supply (Bill and Mary Edna
Menezes) River Front Refuge (Marsha
Lee), Car Show (Stacy Cook), Concessions (Van Gordon), and the Pony Express
children’s stage (Kathy Wainscott), and
all the other managers of the 56 committees that make the festival run smoothly.
These are the real heroes of the festival,
and all put in many hours to make sure we
all experienced these performances.
Thank You for letting me keep the
Festival alive in 2015 and keeping STJS
solvent.
[Editor’s Note: And Thank YOU,
TOM, for taking on this challenge and
the countless hours it took to present the
event. Thanks to your wife, Gwen, too!]

T
he 2015 Sacramento Music Festival was a SUCCESSFUL and AWESOME event thanks to Tom Duff, Dennis
Grimes and ALL THE VOLUNTEERS. I really don’t know
how to thank Tom and Dennis for all their hard work prior to
and during the festival; they were continuously on the move,
checking on different things throughout the festival to make
sure everything went according to plan.
I want to personally thank all of you (Members and Volunteers) for all your help and support during the 2015 Sacramento Music Festival; if not for all of you, we wouldn’t have
had such a SUCCESSFUL and AWESOME event. I talked
with lots of people that were attending the Music Festival, and
they were all having fun and enjoying all of the music.

This was a really big learning experience for me, as you
know. If you didn’t know, in other years, I only worked Membership, so this experience really woke me up to what all the
volunteers did around the entire festival. Yes, there were some
minor mistakes that were taken care on the spot, and others
that we had no control over, but we learned from these mistakes and will make corrections for next year’s festival.
Just prior to the Sacramento Music Festival, we had BIG
Day of Giving — a local initiative to increase philanthropy in
the Greater Sacramento region. The effort was brought to you
by GiveLocalNow and your local community foundations:
Sac. Region Community Foundation, Placer Community
Foundation and Yolo Community Foundation. The 2015
BIG Day of Giving took place from midnight to midnight
on Tuesday, May 5, 2015. In those 24 hours, online donations were received through bigdayofgiving.org with a goal
to inspire and unite our community in supporting hundreds of
local nonprofits. The Big Day of Giving received a total of
$5,613,799 in donations. The Sacramento Traditional Jazz
Society received $7,935 during this period. I want to thank all
of the individuals that donated to our society during this time.
Thank you all for your support — Dave 2
At the 2015 SMF parade, STJS had a street band

Presto Change-o
A
by STJS Music Committee
fter much discussion among musicians (instrumentalists
..AND vocalists), the Music Committee decided—as an
experiment—to have the Vocal Set happen earlier, to begin at
12:50 p.m. and end at 2:25 p.m. (90 minutes). The rest of the
day will consist of instrumental sets with sign-ups, as usual.
This change will begin with the June 14th Jazz Sunday.
IMPORTANT CHANGES to JULY JAZZ SUNDAY
Please tell everyone that
Jazz Sunday will be the 3rd Sunday in July,
JULY 19, NOT the usual second weekend.
ALSO:
Steve Yocum had to cancel, so we will have Guest Artist
DANNY COOTS on July 19!
June 2015
At its upcoming August 17 meeting, the Music Committee
will reevaluate this three-month (June–Aug.) experience. We
will see if the change has increased attendance and participation by instrumentalists, and review the impact on the very
popular Vocal Set.
Your participation will be the primary factor for assessing
the positive or negative impacts of this shift. Come to Jazz
Sunday and take part! 2

Jazz Sunday Notes
By “The Cricket”
[who is NOT the AATJ editor]
FIRST, these important messages:
On June 14, the Tailgate Room will temporarily be in the
Game Room instead of the usual Emblem Room.
July Jazz Sunday was moved to the 3rd Sunday,
July 19 with guest artist Danny Coots.
I
am so excited, I can hardly sit still. May, of course, is my
favorite month because of Music Festival, but it is more than
usually jammed up with the good stuff this year. Hard to pick what
to talk about first. After “Jubilee,” there was Dr. Bach at Emigh
Hardware on the 31st, and Claudette Stone at Biba’s on the 28th
(and every Thursday, in fact), and Reggie Graham at Graciano’s
in Old Sac (Sundays). Earlier in May there was Banjo-Rama, and
– just by the way – Jazz Sunday with one of the wildest bass players on the planet! Zack Sapunor of Hot City just WAILS on the
stand-up bass. His bandmates, Bill Dendle and the fabulous Jeff
Kreis, invited Mark Curry, Otis Mourning and Bonnie Otto
to join them, and they were super, SUPER exciting. More than
justified the Music Committee’s decision to give graduates of our
various Jazz Ed. programs a share of the spotlight now and again.
Wish the audience had been a little bigger, but can’t compete with
Mother’s Day. (If you simply “must see” your sports, come to the
GCR where you can watch the big game on TV there.)
For Mother’s Day, how gracious of Charlie Gehlbach to
sponsor this year’s “free carnation” at the Jazz Sunday Admissions Table. Elinor Hackett ordered the flowers that Charlie gave
to Moms in memory of his wife, Marilyn. Thank you!
Speaking of which, we had expected a hitch or two that day,
since we had to work around the Elks’ Mother’s Day ritual, but all
the Elks were very supportive, giving us access early so we could
take a break during their event. The Ritual participants moved on
to a reception, and the excellent, Bill Borcher-trained Volunteers
(arriving to claim their “spot”) pitched in to help set up the chairs
and tables. Thanks especially to Marty Mahoney and Steve
Armstrong, Jimmy and Jeanette Galloway, and several others.
They Elks all looked so elegant in their formal wear, including
Deborah Fairley, the new Chaplain for Elks #6. Congratulations,
Deborah! She also volunteers on the food crew at Jazz Sunday,
with love and support from her husband, Thomas, who often
enjoys music in the Gold Card Room.
So, back to the music. Set 3 was top-notch: Chuck Bond on
trumpet with John Doolittle(!), Steve Gonsoulin, Bob Ring-
HOT CITY band

June 2015
wald, Shelley Denny, and Larry Vaught – impressive! And Celia
Cottle brought one of her works-in-progress, the J Street Jazz
Cats (ages 12 to 16). See page 12 for the detailed lineup. (Noa
and Frances also sing.) I think we’ve told you before that Celia
rehearses her bands (this is only one of several) in her dining room
on Sunday afternoons. You and I love OKOM, yes? But Celia
loves it enough to have 20 or 30 young people – I’m pretty sure
that qualifies as a horde – take over her home every week. Thank
you many times over, Celia. (I wonder if she’d accept help from
volunteers.) See photo, below, of Celia applauding the band.
Another student musician, Montana Monce, was the pianist for Tailgate Set 1. Mike Melnikov, Greg Ayala and Jimmy
Spero helped him warm up the room, and Montana’s younger
brother, Thomas, joined Arthur and Augie Eriksson on TG 2.
Charlie Gehlbach, Carl Kaiser, Phil Anderson, Dave Sieber,
Bill Chamberlain and Bev Ludlow filled out that Set 2 roster.
Vocalist Geri Eckert was the sparkplug for Set 3, with Larry
Tyrell, Rich Lockwood, Carl Kaiser and Jack Orlove. The
Tailgate closed out with Jack Mootz, Arthur Eriksson, Cleve
Baker, Jimmy Spero, Dave Sieber, Tony Bellacera and Bev
Ludlow on Set 4. Thanks to Bev for subbing for the vacationing
Jane Reinmuth (still recuperating from knee surgery).
Just saw a picture of Andrew Stephens at the end of his first
year at Berkeley; he has a BEARD and the infamous “Freshman
15,” which just barely takes him out of the “lanky” designation.
Simon Anuszczyk was a featured performer at this year’s Banjo-Rama and proved that you don’t have to be flashy to make a
banjo a “musical” instrument. He played Bach and Mozart, with
Bill Dendle as his wingman. NOTE: Simon will be heading to
Columbia University on a full scholarship in the fall. Congrats!
Rio Americano Band Director Josh Murray reported from
the Rio Am. Spring Concert, and we recognized a BUNCH of
names from the awards list: Nolan Cyr, Jacob Swedlow, Valentina Makovey, Jackson Stafford, Nolan Cyr, August Kauba,
Emily Dunning, and others. Meanwhile, in Elk Grove, Joanna
Koford (reeds/piano/vocals) received the Duke Ellington Jazz
Award for outstanding musicianship at Pleasant Grove H.S. She
also sang the National Anthem at her graduation ceremony in
Sleep Train Arena. STJS and its various education programs ARE
helping to skew Music Education Jazz-ward. Good for us!
Charlie Gehlbach is one of those doing the skewing. He leads
the TJYBF noontime jam session, and often mentors in the Tailgate. One of many reasons he was named 2016 Emperor of Jazz!
Hurray for Dr. Bach! He led the first Gold Card Set, with Carl
Kaiser (on trombone), Frank Lindskoog, Pearl Nicolino, Eddi
(continued on page 8)

sisted of Jack Mootz, Todd Morgan, Mike
Melnikov, Jim Laveroni and David Rietz (on violin). Then it was
Gehlbach again, with Jay Paulus, Dick Lockwood, Carl Kaiser
(piano), Dave Sieber and Tony Bellacera. And TNT wound up
their 3-month string with Set 5 in the GCR. See page 12 for lineup.
(Cont. from page 7)
Parker Weis was also on Set 3, filling in for Charlie Hull.
He joined Ken Meyers, Mickey Bennett, Jim Roberson and
David Rietz. The vocalist cohort provided the usual broad range
of tunes, from Edd Burhans on “Besame Mucho” to Todd Morgans’ “Heebie Jeebies” and “Georgia Brown.” THAT’s when
Parker came alive after being a little nervous stepping in for Charlie. But boogie woogie? Who knew what it would do to him!
Between Burhans and Morgan we ran the gamut from
“Angel Eyes” (Larry Sikorski) and Fats Waller’s “Don’t Let It
Bother You” from Julie Galleher. We had Jobim from Jay Casl
and Kingston Trio from Jackie Clauson; Michel LeGrand from
Dennis Cain, and Harry Warren from Vanna Turner. Vanna said
she chose “Lullaby of Broadway” for Mother’s Day because it
has “Lullaby” in the name (and has “fake scat, and she was terrified of trying to sing scat in front of our own Queen of Scat,
Gwenetta Brooks (who sang “The Melody Lingers On”). Jackie
Clauson VERY proudly announced that she would be at the Indianapolis 500 over Memorial Day this year to watch her grandson
Bryan Clauson race. Paula Dula sang “A Time for Us,” the love
theme from Romeo Juliet. Julie Meyers sang “Embraceable You”
because her Mother really loves it. Julie was holding hands with
Brian Walker, who called her “My Embraceable Julie.” Awww.
Guy and Margie Weybright brought a gallon baggie of old
badges (John Ascuaga’s Jazz Festival; 4th & Jazz, Earl’s Girls,
Jazz Nut, Hot Frogs, Pismo 1987, I’m A Three Rivers Rowdy,
Pismo Mardigras 1984; Dixsea Fest, several Jubilee dailies, a Proplan™ International Cat Show), which their daughter bought at a
local thrift store for (you can see the price tag) twenty-five cents!
Fame really is fleeting, isn’t it?
Or you can live on in moving pictures. Frequent-emcee
Matías Bombal worked with the Sacramento History Museum
using recently digitized material from the Museum’s over 7 million feet of film going back to the early days of News TV and
agricultural boosterism, and produced a highly entertaining look
at Sacramento. Harry Warren! Victory Gardens! The Sacramento
Solons! The third (but we hope not last) showing was to a packed
house at the Tower Theatre. The Museum’s work takes time (and
money) but Matías is up for a second installment when there’s
more raw material to review.
A nice item from the May The American Rag: Pat Yankee was
serenaded by “fellow divas” at the Jazz Bash by the Bay in Monterey. Banu Gibson, Becky Kilgore, Yve Evans, Sue Kroninger, and
Shelley Burns did a set of selected songs associated with Pat. What
class! Ending with Eddie Erickson singing “The Lady is a Tramp.”
8
Eddie, by the way, if you haven’t heard, is home recovering
from heart valve replacement surgery. We all knew he had a big
heart, we’re just glad it’s going to work right for a while longer!
Jacinta Perera said she has been a member of the Festival
Hospitality Crew for years, but this was her very first Jazz Sunday.
Mary Stewart brought her neighbor, Barbara Miller. It turns out
that Barbara used to play trombone. Her son has a music degree in
bass. Barbara said she’ll for sure be back.
Now, let’s jump back to GCR 3: Alan Ginter had a paying gig
(always a good thing), so Mickey Bennett was on bass. Mickey’s wife, Joanna, rungs the snack bar at the Roseville Tower
Theatre, which has Jazz Night (cheap admission) on a Tuesday
– call 916.837.7469 to find out which Tuesday each month
Michael Hjelmeland said he used to play trombone with the
Sacramento Valley Symphonic Youth Band – in 1956, the year the
Band started! My favorite Quote of the Day was from Pat Cooke:
she said, “I was made for mischief, and if you add a little music to
it, that’s even better.” Amen to that!
So very sorry to report that Lynn Kuk died. Lynn and wife
Linda have been volunteers for all the area Jazz/Ragtime events
over the years, particularly as Volunteer Coordinator at West
Coast Ragtime. He was a sweetheart and will be much missed.
We actually had a number of mother/offspring attendees,
including Mabel Burhans’ mother, Kimi Klemme. And Mabel’s
granddaughter, Azaria, was riding herd on her 4-year-old brother,
Amir. Azaria had a pink streak in her hair, which was a shock to
me, because here I was thinking she was still a little girl. It was
cute, but color me startled. And while we’re on the subject of hair,
Charles and Joanne Leuthy’s granddaughter, Lisa, had a quite
startling hairdo; she “pulled focus.” Cute, and with a twinkle in
her eye when I mentioned it.
Virginia Grundy just about stole the show. She’s just at that
age where she insists on taking control of her stroller, and stroll
she did. She also commandeered dance partners. Mama Hannah
Broyles Grundy was kept on her feet, and Grandma Donna
Broyles remembers when Hannah, not much older than Virginia
is now, also charmed the Jazz Society.
John Sawyer, from Berkeley, escorted his mother, Gerry,
from Rocklin. Max Weis escorted his mother, Esther, to the Gold
Card Room to hear Parker. Terry Donigan, Marty Mahoney’s
daughter, said she just bought several bouquets and combined
them for the gorgeous display she gave Marty. We saw Andy
Blackett helping to teach Nancy Giffin’s son, Brian, to dance!
I’m guessing we’ll run into each other at Jubilee before you
actually read this. Check out some of the listings on pages 11 and
12 of this newsletter, and support live music in our community.
The musicians could really use a little help from their friends in
the jazz community. Let’s show the love. 2

West End Stompers (cont.)
Jumpin’ Jazz Band and later on continued to cut his teeth in
the traditional jazz genre with the California Express. Around
age twenty, he put in some time with the River City Stomperz
before helping form the Wooden Nickel Jass Band in 1982. For
the next ten years, Otis played with a lot of different groups
and musicians, but the Wooden Nickel, along with the legendary Sacramento R&B band, the Beer Dawgs (with whom
he played saxes, accordion, rub board, percussion, and sang),
would be his mainstay projects.
He’s also worked with the Rythym Coalition, Mumbo
Gumbo, Myron Floren, Jo Anne Castle, Dianne Schuur, and
the Black Dogs, among others. He’s been a “Proffessor” at the
Mammoth Lakes Jazz Camp on multiple occasions and toured
internationally with the 10th Avenue Band for three years. Otis
has performed at jazz festivals all over the world, including the
North Sea Jazz Festival and the Guiness Jazz Festival and has
been on over forty recordings with the likes of Shelley Burns and
Avalon Swing and the Blue Street Jazz Band, among others.
Otis currently plays regularly with Sister Swing, the Catsnjammer J.B., Brady McKay & the Neurotypicals, the Doug
Pauly Quartet, the Whippersnappers, the Chopped Liver
Orchestra, and his own band: the Colorblind Greens Band. He
is highly regarded as one of the finest clarinetists in the country, and is also a much sought after saxophonist by too many
groups to mention. He’s known for his versatile ability to play
just about any genre.
BILL DENDLE (2014 “Musician of the Year” at Jazz Bash By
The Bay), plectrum guitar — Bill Dendle began playing banjo in
1963, and by 1967 was appearing at Mickie Finn’s in San Diego
as leader of the South Market Street Jazz Band, which also
appeared at Disneyland and on USO tours. In 1968, Bill took
over the job of lead banjoist at Capone’s Warehouse in Monterey, where he appeared off and on for the next nine years. 1977
found Bill as an entertainment consultant, banjoist, trombonist,
band leader and entertainer at Florida’s Disneyworld, where he
opened the Empress Lilly Showboat. Bugs and humidity sent
Bill back to San Diego in late 1977 to revive the South Market
Street Jazz Band, which became a popular fixture at Dixieland
Jazz Festivals throughout the United States. From 1982 on, Bill
appeared as one-half of the duo called Goodtime Banjos at banjo
concerts, jazz festivals, conventions and private parties until
1995. Bill is currently director of three jazz camp programs, two
in Sacramento (youth and adult). He plays trombone, guitar and
banjo in Shelley Burns & Avalon Swing, a popular Sacramento
jazz, show and dance band, and appears at jazz festivals, parties, conventions and shows with his wife, the talented vocalist/entertainer Shelley Burns, and Fast Eddie Erickson. Bill has
performed with Bob Haggart, Bob Crosby, Johnny Varro, Dick
10
Cary, Abe Most, Nick Fatool and others, and is highly regarded
as a banjoist, trombonist and very funny master of ceremonies. ZACK SAPUNOR, Upright Slap Master — Exploring the
boundaries of the bass tradition since 1994, Zack Sapunor
is a freelance upright bassist, vocalist, and bandleader. With
credits that include stints with the Jim Cullum Jazz Band (of
National Public Radio’s “Riverwalk Jazz” renown) and Wayne
“The Train” Hancock(with whom the 2013 album “Ride” rose
to the Top Ten on the national Americana charts), Zack has a
rich and diverse experience of American musical styles ranging from New Orleans hot jazz, swing, and gypsy to rockabilly,
honky-tonk, and western swing.
Now averaging roughly 200 performances per year, Zack
has recently returned to his west coast base after an intense two
year apprenticeship in Austin and San Antonio, Texas as well
as touring theatres and festivals throughout North America and
Europe with Wayne Hancock and the Jim Cullum Jazz Band.
He now leads his own ensemble “Hot City” which specializes
in hot jazz, swing, and a unique exploration of rhythms and
melodies from around the globe that he calls “swingxotica”.
Zack has also renewed a heavy performance schedule with
his long-time duo “The Afterlife” who delve into the common
ground between sophisticated cocktail swing and the exciting
beginnings of the bebop explosion both hot and cool.
With experience inside pit orchestras, onstage for theatrical
performances musical and otherwise, and a vast array of nightclub showcases doing anything from punk rock to hip hop,
from bluegrass to modern jazz, Zack Sapunor is a passionate
and dedicated entertainer with the ability and desire to bring
energy, class, fun, and professionalism to any event.
JACK STANFILL, drums — Since 1959 playing with the “The
Velvetones” in Portland, Oregon, Jack has enjoyed numerous
and varied experiences playing drums with trios, quartets, and
big bands as well as bands that played country-western, traditional jazz, pop, swing, rock and roll, modern jazz, and Broadway music. He played in the III Marine Amphibious Force
Drum & Bugle Corps in Vietnam, the Oregon Symphony, the
Las Vegas lounge acts “the Del Reys” and “Sloopy and the Red
Barons”. Jack became a Gold Card member of STJS when he
arrived in Sacramento with the “Rob Swenson Trio” in 1975.
Locally, Jack played drums for “Sister Swing”, and the big
bands of Ron Davis and Fred Morgan. Jack played at the North
Seas Jazz Festival in the Hague in 2003 with the Consumnes
River College Jazz Band under the direction of Ron Cunha.
Recently retired from teaching music in the San Juan Unified
School District for 33 years, Jack is enjoying performing in the
Sacramento area with many great jazz musicians.
STJS Music Comm. wanted to present young musicians
who have benefitted from our jazz ed. programs. Enjoy! 2
