Just Friends

Back of album cover, top: THE FULTON STREET JAZZ QUARTET is 4/6ths of the Fulton Street Jazz Band, one of the West Coast's most popular Chicago-style Dixieland bands. The band has played in all of the Sacramento Dixieland Jubilees and jazz festival concerts on the West Coast from San Diego to Friday Harbor, Washington. Fulton Street's large group of loyal followers are always happily satisfied with the band's exciting ensemble, driving 4-beat rhythm and broad repertoire. The variety of numbers in this record is an illustration of the programming spectrum FSJB enthusiasts enjoy. Back of album cover, middle: RECORDED February 4th and 5th 1985 at Bill Rase Productions, Inc. Sacramento, California Back of album cover, bottom: Instead of the usual recording session, we chose to have a RECORDING PARTY! We invited as many of our friends as the Bill Rase Studio would hold and we all had a ball for two nights. Gaye Newman, our hostess, kept food and booze abundantly supplied and a great time was definitely had by all! Incidentally, we recorded eighteen tunes at the party, twelve of which are on this album. I hope you'll have as much fun with them as we did. CHEERS! Bob Newman Bob Newman's name is etched into the runout partially on side A and fully on side B.
