Cowboy Jazz played Western Swing Music from 1979-1986.

Cowboy Jazz existed in a variety of forms
during its seven-year history. The band pictured above is likely the band that logged the most miles, though in fairness, it is possible an earlier configuration featuring drummer Charlie Crane holds that distinction.

Taken by Road Manager Nick Sharp, outside Washington DC's legendary rock'n'roll haunt Desperados, this photo became the back photo for the group's second LP, Swing Boogie.

Personnel (L-R) are:

Tony DeFontes (bass), Denise Carlson (fiddle, vocals), Kate Bennett (vocals, rhythm guitar), Barry Sless (lead and steel guitars), Brian Alpert (drums), Deanna Bogart (piano, saxophone, vocals).
