Copper Fields, a historic building once known as Vasa Park, was owned from 1930 to 1946 by the Vasa Order of America, a Swedish fraternal organization, according to Roland Nilsson, the group's historian. Ron D'Ascenz, a North High graduate, trumpeter in the band, and life long Denver resident recalls playing there many years ago after it had been taken over by the Veterans Administration.

The band plays until 9:30 pm, playing waltzes, rhumbas, cha cha's, swing and all the other ballroom dance steps. There's a cash bar . For more information email jazzwest@ecentral.com
