Hello all! Yes, even though they look like they haven't been updated in a while, cosmetically or otherwise, we still feature the Saturday Night Live Band Pages on our site, chronicling all thirty years of the band. Even though the band's presence on the show has waned in recent years, we still support their musicianship and efforts.
The show is starting to resemble a lifer's group, with several members marking their 20th year on the show and one starting his 25th. We'll soon update the pages, but here is the 2004-2005 roster.
Lew Del Gatto - baritone sax/arranger (on and off since 1977, mostly on!)
Leon Pendarvis - musical director/keyboards (since 1980)
Lenny Pickett - musical director/tenor sax (since 1985)
Earl Gardner - trumpet (since 1985)
Steve Turre - trombone (since 1985)
Alex Foster - alto sax (since 1985, except for a few years in the 90's when George Young had the chair)
Shawn Pelton - drums (since 1992)
Valerie Naranjo - percussion (since 1995)
Lukasz Gottwald - guitar (since 1997)
James Genus - bass (since 2000)
Katreese Barnes - keyboards (since 2000)
