About this Event
Friends and former bandmates will gather to celebrate the amazing music of Jerry Jumonville. He was an American jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll saxophonist, arranger, and composer. He began playing the saxophone as teenager. Jumonville was a musician for albums and television series. He recorded and arranged for artists such as Ringo Star, Van Morrison, the Doobie Brothers, the Beach Boys, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, Ricky Lee Jones, Nicolette Larson, Dusty Springfield, Dave Mason, Duane Allman, Johnny Rivers, Rodney Crowell, Kris Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge, Joe Turner, Gatemouth Brown, Freddie King, and Delaney and Bonnie. He appeared in the rock documentary Festival Express, made television appearances on Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley, and played on, arranged, and appeared in Bette Midler's movie, The Rose, for which he earned a gold record. But let's give Jerry the last word. Here it is, accompanied by his irrepressible, endearing finger wag: Tee Naa Naay!
