| Our drummer, Jim Nelson has been the heart and soul of the rhythm section for over 6 years now. His resume contains far too many credits to list here, but suffice it to say, Jim has played with just about everybody. He can often be heard playing percussion for various road shows and orchestras in town, including the Phoenix Symphony. Remember, Clark may drive the band bus, but Jim drives the band! Steve Fitch, drums Selwyn Reams, bass Ted Sistrunk, bass Auggie Mendoza, piano/arranger Jay Maynes (a.k.a. Juan Oskar), piano Our resident guitarist Billy (I don't have email) Abdo is currently on hiatus, but when available, he has thrilled the hipper members of our audiences with burning licks that were most likely stolen from Carlos Santana. On Latin Percussion, the EDBB has often featured the great Francisco (Frank) Sanchez. Frank has been playing in the Valley for years, and formerly toured with the Kingston Trio. |
