The Boneheads—originally founded by Abe Nole in 1962 —had six trombones and three rhythm players (piano, bass, and drums). The founding members were professional trombone players in the Las Vegas showrooms and consisted such legends as Abe Nole, Charlie Loper, Bill Harris, Archie LeCoque, Tommy Hodges, Pat Thompson, Dick “Stretch” McQuary and Bill Smiley. They rehearsed on the second floor of the old Silver Slipper on The Las Vegas Strip and occasionally at Abe’s home.

The players rotate depending on availability, and the group has become known as the “ultimate trombone band” – the players always jump at the chance to play with the group. Curt Miller is the leader and coordinator of the group, and the players that routinely play with the group are Matt Johnson, Nate Kimball, Nathan Tanouye, Sonny Hernandez, Ralph Pressler, and Andrew Boostrom. The rhythm section is comprised of Uli Geissendoerfer on piano, Steve Flora on bass and Larry Aberman on drums.

The Las Vegas Boneheads completed their first CD recording in early 2017, and in 2022 a 2nd CD was released in mid-November entitled “Sixty and Still Cookin'” featuring the amazing Andy Martin as guest artist.
