70th Dance Band
Really giving out in the way of
smooth, sweet and torrid beat is
Sgt. Bill Rhodenbaugh’s 70th Div.
dance band. Featuring terrific foil
ing tenor sax by Tec5 Leo Juaruez
and mellow, facsinating 88’s by
Pfc. Ken Davies.
The horn blasting of a former
Boh Chester sideman, Tec5 Bob
Cozine, makes the feet move and
the mind ask for more. The kid is
» sensational. Each movement of his
fingers and lips make you think
of the greats of horndom, James,
Elman. The combination of Cozine
on trumpet, Juaruez on tenor sax,
Robbins on alto sax and former
Benny Goodman guitarist, Tec4
Sam Herman, is tops, be it ballad
or jump.
