Dans les Rues D'Antibes Climax Jazz Band 1976

oh those were the glory days. I remember the early days of the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, Climax was one of our biggest draws. I miss the old days sigh...

A huge treat to see the circa '76 group which was my all time favorite at the Sacramento Jazz Festival during those memorable early years with the atomospheric venues of the then still OLD Old Town. I had the pleasure of making a small contribution one year by somehow finding a guy to drill one of (I think it was Tattershal's) crash symbols to stop a developing crack. And now more fun to be able to catch up with the CJB over the years via this marvelous medium. Cheers.

I have treasured your LPs since inheriting them from my old man, trumpeter Gary Carden of the Slabtown Marching Society. He would play your stuff right along the New Black Eagle Jazz Band and the DeParis Brothers. The best, for sure. Thanks for sharing the video!

Bloody Hell!! You guys were ON FIRE . . . ! ! Wow, what a performance - I'd have loved to have been at that gig! It takes me right back to the 70s when I used to watch my dad's band and also seeing (and being lucky enough to sit in with) Sammy Rimington's bands during that period. The sheer excitement of great jazz served up as it should be: deliciously HOT (and with an audience just willing you on too). And to think it was either this or wrestling dwarfs... You gotta larf!
