Vaughn Wiester's 
"Famous Jazz Orchestra"

"Remembering Becky Odgen's Bungalow Jazz"

 

Rebecca "Becky" Ogden, the God Mother of the Famous Jazz Orchestra (she gave Vaughn Wiester his first permanent weekly venue for his FJO, "She's the reason I have a band.....man."  ) - deservedly called it quits on (June 3rd, 2017 after many years in hosting her "little slices of jazz heaven" (Bungalow Jazz) out of her Victorian style home on 5th Ave in Columbus, Ohio.  Much has been written in FJO eNewsletters over the years of the debt the "band" and the Columbus jazz community (both fans and musicians) owe her personal and financial commitment to "superb jazz in a small venue."   Thanks to Brad Reardon for sending in the first few pictures, below.)
