A KJAZ Broadcast from the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco 7 April 1985.

The band: Turk Murphy, Leader, tbn; Bob Schulz, tpt and Vocal; Lyn Zimmer, clt; Ray Skjelbred, p; John Gill, bjo. The tape does not mention the tuba player but it is most likely Bill Carroll. The band is shown in the second photo of the video.

The Turk Murphy jazz band maintained the highest standard of muscianship throughout its 39 year history as this recording from its final phase shows. Bob Schulz's excellent vocals were a feature of the band. After the closure of the last Earthquake McGoon's club the band played at the Fairmont Hotel. The 7 April broadcast included music played at Grace Cathedral earlier in the day. I will upload a recording from that session which despite the understandably poorer sound quality is simply wonderful.

Thanks to all subscribers.

Enjoy.

Peace to all
