Jimmy Mazzy & Friends

This program is from May 10, 1989 — same date as the last two programs, but this was from later in the evening, when we were joined by Michael “Moishe” Feldman, a recent emigre from Russia who wowed us with his stride piano artistry. Besides Moishe, the personnel is the same as last time: Jimmy Mazzy (banjo/vocals), Fred Lind (cornet), Paul Meymaris (clarinet), and John Kafalas (tuba).
