Jazz music with xylophone, piano, cornet, saxophone, trombone and flute playing.
They were the applause hit of the evening.
Yerke's Jazarimba Orchestra followed by the feature picture closed the show. If the audience had their way the closing honors would have gone to the jazzists, for after 23 minutes of syncopation they were clamoring for more. This bunch consists of eight men. Three xylophonists, a pianist, cornettist, trombone player and Yerke as the only featured soloist doubling on a saxophone and flute. They are dandy musicians and know how to milk a jazz loving crowd.
