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).

Cowboy Jazz's "That's What We Like About the West" is a cross between traditional pop vocal groups, western swing and country-rock -- a unique and heady brew of roots music that never stays in one place for too long. The group runs through a number of standards -- including country songs like "Cow-Cow Boogie" and "Hey Good Lookin'" and pop songs like "Sophisticated Mind" -- as well as originals that are in the same vein. It's great fun that sounds unlike anything in country and roots music. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
