Rosemary and I have always had a soft spot in our hearts for
Traditional Jazz; some call it Dixieland, some call it New Orleans
style but most of the folks around the world call it Traditional.
It's the roots of our jazz that still goes on today, it's how it
all started and it's always fun music. If you consider all
of the Trad Jazz festivals and all of the jazz societies that help
keep it going you come to realize the size of the following it
has. Tradition Jazz has always been a page on this website
but I sorry to say I have let it slide in the last few years.
We now have sponsors for this page and I intend to rectify my
recent shortcomings for this section on this site. -- Ron Gable |

I regretfully must report to you the passing
this afternoon of legendary jazz pianist, John Jacob Ulrich, at the age
of 86. Veteran of many of the greatest jazz bands of his era, John had
been living in a retirement center in Dublin, Ohio, for the past few
years. Despite his deteriorating health, he managed to entertain his
fellow rest home residents, and those members of the general public that
had the good luck to be in the vicinity, by giving weekly concerts on
the meeting room piano. And, most fortunately, we were honored to have
had John with us at last Sunday's COHJS Byron Stripling concert, where
he again demonstrated his immense talent and energy at the keyboard by
expertly playing an entire set with Byron and the COHJS backup band. A
true "Swan Song" by a great artist indeed.

Goosetown Astonishers
of Chillicothe Ohio:
Just a short note to let you know that despite rumors to the
contrary, The Goosetown Astonishers perform every Thursday
evening (8 - 10:30 p.m.) at the CrossKeys Tavern on Main
Street in downtown Chillicothe. Known as the largest classic
band in the country (11 members when everybody shows up),
the band has played continuously at the Tavern since
sometime in 1972 (nobody's really sure of an exact starting
date), making this their 35th year of performing there.
No cover, no minimum and the food is good, too. - Paul
