The Paramount Jazz Band of Boston has long had an admirable reputation for presenting lesser known tunes, often sung by banjoist Jimmy Mazzy. The band held to form, offering "Strange Blues, "Richard M. Jones Blues," "Coventry Rag" and "Smooth Sailing" among other great numbers. Band members are, from left: Robin Verdier, Jimmy Mazzy, Jeff Hughes, leader Chuck Stewart (tuba), Steve Wright, Ron Leach (drums) and Gary Rodberg.
