Album Notes
The Crescent Katz’s off-the-cuff, no-rules, no-arrangements style hearkens back to the days when Sherwood “Shakey” Johnson was the king of pizza, and the emperor of fun. You’ll leave every show tappin’ your toes and smelling faintly like pepperoni. Today they are one of Sacramento’s most popular Hot Jazz bands. They can be seen performing at the Shady Lady, Berryessa Brewing Company, Midtown Stomp, The Porch, the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society and even playing authentic “Pizza Jazz” at Straw Hat Pizza.
