Scope and content
The Jerry Sun Four. Three members of the Jerry Sun quartet are shown striding forth on September 26, 1964. The fourth member is barely visible; only his left arm appears in this cropped photograph. The local group had appeared in the Rhodes Bros./Seventeen Magazine fashion show in August, 1963. According to a mention in the "Suburban Beat" TNT column of February 24, 1965, the musicians were awaiting release of a new record. They were currently playing on the California-Nevada circuit. A further update on the musicians: the three men shown appeared as the Jerry Sun Trio in June, 1965, in the Cascade Room of the Bon Marche. They were scheduled to perform for two weeks. A small article in the June 24, 1965, News Tribune indicated that novelty tunes and a wide variety of musical stylings could be expected. They apparently played in the "Arthur Lyman" style; Arthur Lyman was a well known Hawaiian musician whose exotic hit, "Yellow Bird" was a nationwide hit in 1961.
