My Daddy Rocks Me Jim Cullum 1985

My Daddy Rocks Me Jim Cullum 1985

The Jim Cullum' Jazz Band.
This is from the mid period in the career of this fabulous jazz band. Jim Cullum started in his father's band, the Happy Jazz Band around 1960 (JIm Cullum Sr was a clarinet player).
In 80ies Jim Jr changed to the current name and the band is probably the best jazz band in the US.
For the last number of years Jim has been broadcasting from his own club "The Landing" in San Antonio, Texas and these programs are available via the internet. Jim Cullum's website is http://landing.com/ and further directions come from that site
In these Jim Cullum clips which were taped during an outside concert in 1985 Cullum had the following musicians in the band. Most of the musicians stayed with Cullum for several years and then often continued to start their own solo career.
Next to Jim on cornet are Allen Vache clarinet, Randy Reinhardt trombone and cornet, John Sheridan piano, Howard Elkins banjo and tenor guitar, (Howard is still in the band), James Hunter bass and Ed Torres drums.

1. Fireworks

3. S.O.L. Blues

Would love a modern rendition of this version. Any leads?

[SoldatSolutrea]

Songs for the stoned- this is sizzling hot music.

I've got a lead sheet of this. It is not a transcription of this arrangement but it has the melody, chords and words.

I've somehow never played this tune, but I've heard it A LOT. It seems on first hearing that the band is just playing this simple progression (each set of brackets being a bar) over the 16 bar tune: [Fmi Fmi/Eb][Db7 C7b9][Fmi Fmi/Eb][Db7 C7b9] [Fmi Fmi/Eb][Db7 ][C7b9 Db7 ][C7b9 ][Fmi ][C7b9 ][Fmi ][Gmi7b5 C7b9][Fmi Fmi/Eb][Db7 C7b9][Fmi Fmi/Eb][Db7 C7b9]. I hope this helps!! Somebody correct me if I've mis-heard the thing!!

[p0ulp]

did anyone could transcript it on a scoresheet, I only get the intro for now and it's a real pain without musical skill

[javlenabob1324]

[santopec]

What a band!!

I looked for SOL blues, but couldn't find it.

Did you remove that video??

[Warchild281]

i see these guys down at the landing every month or so. they're about 25 years older, but man do they still got it.

One fine band!!! One of my favorites!! Also a #1 fan of the genius on the piano, John Sheridan.
