Creole Trombone! (GJB 8/11/07) A CD recording of our August 2007 concert at Music Mountain is now available. The concert featured the amazing Jim Fryer on trombone, and Bob Price, the "Banjo Crackerjack", along with Fred, Russ, Bill, Art, and Bob Bequillard. There are sixteen tunes on this CD, including Memphis Blues, Hiawatha, Two Sleepy People, Blue & Broken-Hearted, Bob Price's famous "Lover" medley, Jim's inimitable version of Ory's Creole Trombone, and ten others. (Click on the image at the right for details about the recording and a downloadable sample track.)

Airmail Special (GJB 1/1/84). . . This gem from the archives has to be the swingingest CD we have ever issued. It was recorded on New Year's Day, 1984, but not released until November 29, 2007. Inspired by the quartet and quintet recordings of Benny Goodman, it features Noel Kaletsky at his best, Dirck Spicer on vibraphone (in the style of Lionel Hampton) and Howard Alden on guitar, along with Fred, Bill, Art, and Bob. (Click here or on the image at the right for details.)

GJB 2/26/07, Jimmy Mazzy & Skip Hughes with the GJB is a live recording from our February, 2007 concert at the University of New Hampshire with Skip and the legendary banjo virtuoso Jimmy Mazzy. Jim Fryer was originally scheduled for this concert, but he was stranded by bad weather in Oregon; Skip Hughes kindly agreed to help us out, and what a show it turned out to be! We are grateful to the UNH staff not only sponsoring the concert, but also for recording it. (Click here or on the image at the right for details.)

GJB 8/19/06 (Skip Hughes & Bob Price with the GJB), a live recording from our 2006 concert at Music Mountain. Skip Hughes and Bob Price both do a lot of singing on this CD, including several tunes that we had only started using during that summer. (Click here or on the image at the right for details.)

BCD-467, Louis Nelson & Tommy Benford with the GJB!. . . From deep in the archives, this one features New Orleans trombonist Louis Nelson and the legendary Tommy Benford on drums with Mark Finks on banjo and vocals, Fred Vigorito on cornet, Noel Kaletsky on clarinet and sax, Bill Sinclair on piano, and Art Hovey on bass and tuba. Recorded in 1971 at the dawn of the Millpond era, this session was intended to be issued as an LP by George Buck. Somehow the tape was lost, and has only recently come to light; it stands the test of time remarkably well. (Click here or on the image at the right for details.)

Just A Little While (GJB 1/17/82) From the archives, this one features Sammy Rimington and trombonist Roy Rubinstein in their one and only performance together at the Millpond Taverne in 1982. (Click here or on the image at the right for details.)

GJB 5/22/88 is a reissue of our 16th anniversary celebration at the Millpond Taverne with Sammy Rimington, David Paquette, Matt Finders, and Noel Kaletsky, including some previously unissued material from that session. (For more details just click on the blue CD title above OR the little picture at the right.)

GJB 5/29/88 is another live recording from the Millpond archives. It was sold out last year but now has been reissued. Fred's name and photo are displayed prominently because this CD was originally produced for sale in France, where Fred is a big international jazz star. But it also features the one and only Sammy Rimington on clarinet, sax & vocals, David Paquette on piano & vocals, and trombone wizard Joel Helleny along with Noel Kaletsky and the rest of the GJB. Except for the clarinet duet version of "Burgundy Street Blues" this material has never before been issued. For details, click on the photo at the right.

GJB 4/17/76 was recorded at the Millpond Taverne in 1976 and 1981 but was never issued until now. This recording features the GJB with the late "Big Chief" Russell Moore on trombone and vocals, and clarinetist Joe Licari, with Bill Lezotte on guitar and Ed Stockmal on drums!

GJB 6/25/05 is a live recording of our 2005 concert at Music Mountain in Falls Village, Connecticut, with the marvelous vocalist Jane Campedelli, banjo virtuoso Bob Price, and the amazing Craig Grant on trombone. This is the same gang that performed so well at recent jazz festivals in Florida, Illinois, and Connecticut. Bob Price is featured on San Antonio Rose and Heartaches, Jane is featured on Cakewalkin' Babies, See Your Mama Every Night, Lou-Easy-Ann-I-A, and After You've Gone (as well as our closing theme) and the whole band is featured on the title track and several others. There are fourteen tracks on this CD, each one displaying a different facet of the GJB repertoire. This CD is also available from cdbaby.com. You can download two-minute sound clips of each track from that website.

GJB 11/3/85 is a treasure from the archives featuring the late Merrill Doucette (1930-1986) along with trombonist Tom Artin and Noel Kaletsky on clarinet and sax. We first came to know Merrill as the regular pianist for the Connecticut Dixieland Society, where he performed with George Masso, Bobby Hackett, Doc Cheatham, Wild Bill Davison, Vic Dickenson, Max Kaminsky, Frank Tate, Alan Dawson, Wayne Andre, John Faddis, and many others. During the Galvanized Jazz Band's early years Merrill was our first call whenever Bill Sinclair couldn't be with us. This recording is from one such night at the Millpond Taverne in November of 1985, just weeks before his untimely passing.

"A June Night" features Jane Campedelli. Most of the material was recorded in 2003 with Jim Fryer, Jerry Zigmont & Bob Price. A couple of cuts are from our 20th Millpond anniversary with George Masso, Noel Kaletsky, Kenny Davern, and Bill Whitcraft, including some previously unissued material from that session. We have only a few copies to sell here in Connecticut, but you can order one directly from Jane; just email her at: jazzsinger@bellsouth.net, or call her at 1-904-751-1884, or write to her at 10239 Shore View Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32218. They're $15, and that includes shipping. Make your check payable to Jane Campedelli.
