Widely recognized as an exquisite song stylist, contemporary song writer and stand-up jazz bassist, The Julie Poncé Experience is considered to be What’s HIP in Chicago-Style Music. Great listening, dancing and/or background music to Favorite Standard Classics, Chicago-Style Swing, Latin Standards, and Jazz renditions of popular songs of today and yesterday. This is a GROOVE EXPERIENCE!

It is hard to believe that this article is from 31 years ago (at the time of this post) 1994. Where does the time go? The photo was taken at the old Knickers Restaurant in Des Plaines. Thank you to the sidemen who have participated over the years.
