Buck Creek Jazz Band ending song at its final festival Dans Les Rues d'Antibe

On November 30, 2008, the Buck Creek Jazz Band played at its final jazz festival. The final song it played at the San Diego Thanksgiving Dixieland Jazz Festival, at 6:52 pm local time, was Sidney Bichet's "Dans Les Rues d'Antibes." This video is a tribute to that emotionally charged, happy and sad event. We wish the members of the band all the success possible after they disband -- and thank them for the years of great memories. (permission granted to upload by Frank Mesich, co-leader of the band.) Band members playing were: Jerry Addicott, Gil Brown, Tom Holtz, Frank Mesich, Jim Ritter, John Skillman, and Ray Templeton. To see other jazz festival videos go to

Wow what a fantastic band! I like the clarinetist especially!

I love Ray Templin on piano, but Bill Richards who we lost in 2007 was the engine that drove this band when he died, the band was never the same.
