Like many people, musician "Little David" Rose followed his dreams to San Francisco from a small town in Kansas. And when he got to the City by the Bay, Rose started his jazz and blues band, Stompy Jones. For our occasional series "California Songs," Rose talked to us about the backdrop to his song, "New Direction." Reporter: Jenny Simeone

Little David Rose's thumpin' stand-up bass, the double-shuffle drumming of Lee Beary, and the bounce piano of William Beatty provide the rhythmic foundation of the band's jump style. Riffing on top is the trumpet sound of Robert Dehlinger and Erv Ervin on the saxophone. These two fellas create the fireworks of vintage rhythm and blues. The charming Hank Maninger on vocals and lead guitar has become a trademark of Stompy Jones.
