ACE Celebrates it's 40th year of Musical Entertainment 1969 -2009
1975 - Bob, Jim, and Steve at the Ivenhoe in Temple City where ACE peformed to sold out nightclub weekend dancing crowds. (Hair was long and Shoes were tall)
1972 (above)Little Jimmy Ace - peforming at Salesian High School's homecomming dance (it was their first ever sell out-opening song was "Saturday in the Park")
Notice the tape on his fingers, as well as lead vocals he also played congas and 2nd trumpet.
A vintage shot of Ronny (the funky white boy) on keyboards. His wide array of musical talent and hard work stem from his Motown roots in Detroit. Ron's contributions to ACE's musical arrangements, vocals and harmonies have been endless since he joined ACE in the 70's.
1973 - (above) Ace Bass player, Bob Rios our "honorary lifetime Ace member" and bouncer, has created our funky, soul and rock n' roll dance groove for over 30 years. Also here with Albert Barron (noted latin jazz artist) who performed with ACE in the ELA Battle of the Bands in the spring of 1973. Albert was our first horn player added to the band in 1969 and played through 1974 when he performed "on the road" for years and now back working with another latin jazz group in the LA area.
1973 - Here is Bobby Ace performing at the East L.A. Battle of the Bands at ELA Jr. College (could that be over 35 years ago?)
1983 - Miguel Ronquillo on trumpet, keybords and vocals
