The Napa Valley Dixieland Society presents New Orleans Jazz,

At Grant Hall - Veterans’ Home Yountville, CA

on January 11, 2015 1:00 - 4:00 We start off 2015 with our customary visit by Ted Shafer’s Jelly Roll The Zenith Jazz Band Jazz Band except it’s now under the direction of Earl Scheelar and (Formerly the Jelly Roll Jazz Band) renamed the Zenith Jazz Band. With most of the usual suspects in the ranks, it should be a seamless transition. Since 1959, Ted Shafer has led both two cornet bands and We continue with our winter schedule ending our session at 4 PM and smaller New Orleans-style no intermission music. We are still considering what to do in the future combos under the "Jelly Roll regarding times and intermission entertainment. Jazz Band" name. Ted has now retired but the band con- tinues under Earl Scheelar and Since the Fresno Mardi Gras Festival is the third weekend in 2015, it a new/old name of Zenith Jazz will not conflict with our second Sunday, so we will have a meeting Band February 8 with the Bear Republic Jazz Band. See you all in 2015
