The Jelly Roll Souls are the youngest swinginist and soulfullest band around today. Born from the collaborative visionary efforts of Lech Wierzynski(Trumpet and Vocals), and Nansamba Ssensalo (Drums), the JRS's deliver a sound thats as joyous and funky as a New Orleans street parade, down-home as a Delta juke joint, and fresh and sweet as a Carolina peach. Working with some the finest musicians in the bay area, the Jelly Roll Souls will not only keep your feet moving, but also delight your ears and most of all, soothe your soul.
Are you going to be back at the Savannah Jazz Club on Wednesdays? I went there Wednesday and the band just didn't cut it for good swingin'. Gotta have the Jelly Rolls back in action!!! ps keep that calender updated too
Looking forward to having you guys back to play for all the lindy /swing dancers at Swing Central on Tuesday, May 6th. They love you guys & it will be a great treat for our anniversary party that evening. http://www. redwoodcityswing. com
