New Valley Jazz Band

For a number of reasons, Mike & Leah Bezin have turned this job over to Chris Stind, who played trumpet with the Rhythm Aceson March 25 and led the New Valley Jazz Band that did monthly jazz gigs at the former Common Ground in Middleton. As far as we can tell, the Bezins won’t be playing there in the future. It’s a very sad thing, but if we want to keep this music alive, we must move ahead.  Chris will work with and support Wisconsin musicians who are very interested in playing.  The band will be Chris, cornet; Jack Trowbridge, clarinet and sax; Frank Gualtieri, tuba; Mike Albiniak, drums & John Knurr, piano.
