CLANCY’S REVENGE
from Sacramento
Matt Bottel, Leader/Banjo
by Maurice Huff (email: rhuff@c-zone.net)

FELLOW JAZZERS ... What I have for you this month is somewhat ‘different’ in the sense that this is a very *FUN* Dixieland band.

The CLANCY’S REVENGE J.B. is made up mostly of the Catsnjammers Jazz Band, with Matt Bottel from the same band - (as Leader here)--on banjo, along with Gene Berthelson, cornet; Trent Teague, drums; Jean Levinson, tuba; Bob Williams, trombone; Tom Schmidt, reeds. Also appearing from the Catsnjammers is Bill Richards on piano, a very welcome member of this band.

CLANCY’S was a legendary joint in Old Sacramento which hosted Saturday and Sunday JAZZ and other ‘hi jinx’ for several years before being replaced by a sandwich parlor (that failed miserably).

Regardless, *Camelot* was gone, and the disgruntled musicians who performed there never forgave the owner for his perfidy.

THIS IS CLANCY’S REVENGE:
"THE DARKSIDE OF DIXIELAND JAZZ,
HEARD ONLY WHEN THE MOON IS FULL."

After hearing this band, I’m betting our membership will really enjoy
these guys. They had me ... where ... I could hardly sit in the chair
while watching them ! Good music with good humor.
