Jim Cullum's Jazz Band in 1987
The band from San Antonio Texas plays Duke Ellington's The Mooche.
This band plays jazz in the classic manner, that is, in the style of small, hot ensembles prior to WWII. The band's repertoire covers a lot of ground--from 19th-century cakewalks to the small pre-war Benny Goodman ensembles.
The core of the band's music consists of the sounds of Jelly Roll Morton, Original Dixieland Jazz Band, New Orleans Rhythm Kings, King Oliver Creole Jazz Band, Louis Armstrong, and Sidney Bechet, as well as a heavy emphasis on Bix Beiderbecke and his followers (e.g., Hoagy Carmichael).
Jim Cullum cornet, Allan Vache clarinet, Eddie Hubble trombone, John Sheridan piano, Howard Elkins banjo, Jack Wyatt bass and Ed Torres drums

produced for Present Past Productions Inc entitled "The New York Musical Tribute to Turk Murphy."

Wonderful version for Trad front line considering Ellington arranged it for three clarinets.

We're working hard to do as well with a Dixieland band.
