Following a 2-year hiatus thanks to COVID-19, the "Old Guys" are set to present their fourth show for the Salmon Arm Jazz Club. Members are practicing together and individually to produce an exciting, swinging, and jazzy show to end the Jazz Clubs' Spring season.

Band leader and sax-clarinetist Sandy Cameron tells us what it's all about. "The Old Guys", Sandy explains, "is a group of veteran jazzers. Our name comes from a Richard Underhill composition of the same name.  Richard wrote this tune as a tribute to the musicians that influenced him. His 16-bar blues is one of his compositions recorded on the CD, "Tales from the Blue Lounge", and has become our theme song."

Donnie Clark is the most well-known member of the group. Donnie has travelled the world, blowing his trumpet in many Dixieland and bebop settings.  He was an important CBC Vancouver music producer and director, including the show "Dr. Bundolo" which featured Donnie and his music.  Now living a semi-retired life, Donnie lives at the Coast.

Brian Pratt-Johnson on drums, Bill Lockie on bass and Colin Spence on piano round out the quintet. With everyone in this year’s lineup of the "The Old Guys" now of retirement age, they bring a wealth of musical and show biz experience to the Nexus stage collectively exceeding 300 years!
