Dennis Angel Jazz Band Performed. for 200 at The Manor Club
Some 200 people gave a standing
ovation for Dennis Angel and his Jazz
Band after their performance at the
Manor Club on Oct. 2. Members of the
audience were seen “chair dancing” as
the band played familiar tunes from
past decades. Mr. Angel's own com-
positions with lyries about Wall Street
Blues and discontent over taxes were
another highlight of the evening. Most
impressive were vocals performed by
DeForest Raphael, who was compared
to Nat King Cole by the band leader.
Gottfried Stoger played his own sax
but also borrowed his son's soprano sax
to add another dimension to the show.
Mr. Angel beamed with pride as his
daughter, Rebecca, played the piano as
she sang a piece by U2. Over dessert
and coffee many in the audience could
be heard expressing a desire to have
the jazz band return to the Manor Club
stage in the not too distant future.
