The GJB with Jerry Zigmont and Bob Price (GJB 8/20/011) is a live recording of our summer concert at Music Mountain in August of 2011. (Click on the image at the right for details about the recording and downloadable sample tracks.) As the title implies, it features trombonist Jerry Zigmont and banjo virtuoso Bob Price with the GJB in a program of New Orleans-style favorites, along with Bob's amazing solo rendition of Rhapsody in Blue. Several of the cuts also include vocals by Jerry and Bob.

Our featured guests were trombonist Art Baron and Bob Price on banjo. Although all of our guest trombonists have impressive backgrounds, Art is the only one who can truthfully say that he has worked with everyone from Duke Ellington to Bruce Springsteen. (Click on the image at the right for details about the recording and a downloadable sample track.)
She's Makin' Eyes at Me! (GJB 11/20/83) is another treasure from the archives recorded at the Millpond Taverne between 1983 and 1986 with Nick Carella, Wayne Wright, and Noel Kaletsky.

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 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.)
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, Noel Kaletsky 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, now 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 late 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 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.
