| June 10: Dave Lewis Quintet featuring Steve Kirsner on the keys |
![]() Sporting a new name, the Dave Lewis Quintet will perform from 2 PM Sunday June 10 at the Space Coast Jazz Society meeting in the Cocoa Beach Country Club.For years the group was known as the Ragtime Rascals and had a standing Thursday afternoon gig at the old Lloyds in Port Canaveral before moving about 6 years ago to the Sunset Grill in Cocoa Beach. In recent years, the band has been playing less ragtime and more jazz and swing, catering to a crowd of faithful fans who love to dance to the music. Thus, the switch in name. The band was started 20 years ago by Wes Kirby, who died two years ago. That’s when Dave Lewis took over as the bandleader. Currently the band members are: Lewis on vocals and bass; Steve Kirsner on keyboard, Dennis Bram on saxophone, Bill Boyd on trumpet and Al Goldenberg on clarinet. |
