Multi-instrument threat Howard Miyata solos on trombone with the Zinfandel Stompers at a meeting of the New Orleans Jazz Club of Northern California in 2015. When you help run a traditional jazz society sometimes you need to dress the part. And any opportunity to wear spats is always a hard yes. Cheers! @spudhilton Vocalist Lisa Gonick croons with the Flying Eagles Jazz Band during a meeting of the New Orleans Jazz Club of Northern California in 2015. The Eagles are a mainstay in the club's annual lineup. The late great Bert Barr, founder of the legendary Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band of Bellvue, Wash., performs at an NOJCNC meeting in 2009. Barr, who started the band in 1971, grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and was inspired watching the king of the West Coast trad jazz revival, Turk Murphy. Jazz legends Bob Schulz (trumpet) and Don Neely (clarinet) let loose on a traditional New Orleans jazz number during a performance at the New Orleans Jazz Club of Northern California in 2014. Trombonist John Soulis plays some good old tailgate during a performance at the New Orleans Jazz Club of Northern California in 2012.
