Following a 2-year hiatus, the "Old Guys" are set to present their fifth show for the Salmon Arm Jazz Club — an exciting, swinging, and jazzy show to end the Jazz Clubs' Spring season.

Band leader and sax-clarinetist Sandy Cameron tells us what it's all about. "The Old Guys", Sandy explains, "is a group of veteran jazzers. Our name comes from a Richard Underhill composition of the same name.  Richard wrote this tune as a tribute to the musicians that influenced him. His 16-bar blues is one of his compositions recorded on the CD, "Tales from the Blue Lounge", and has become our theme song."

Donnie Clark is the most well-known member of the group. Donnie has travelled the world, blowing his trumpet in many Dixieland and bebop settings.  He was an important CBC Vancouver music producer and director, including the show "Dr. Bundolo" which featured Donnie and his music.  Now living a semi-retired life, Donnie lives in Nelson.

Final details of the rest of the band membership are yet to be announced. Will the entire lineup be young-at-heart geriatrics? Or will the leaders give way and infuse the mix with some young blood?? Stay tuned for more details here, and through our newsletter service.
