Nice Dixieland Music

The River Walk Jazz/The Jim Cullum Jazz Band is great. I was stationed in San Antonio in the 1970-73 time-frame and frequently visited a place called The Landing located on the River Walk. If you were there, you might get to see Pete Fountain. Pete frequently stopped by if enroute to a concert. The Jim Cullum Jazz Band often filled in for Pete in New Orleans. Once The Jim Cullum Jazz Band entered the Great Jazz Blow-out in New York City and won. They brought that honor back to San Antonio. During my time there, a Jazz Blow-out was held in HemisFair Plaza. Pete Fountain and his band were on state for one hour followed by Jim Cullum's Happy Jazz Band for one hour. Then the third hour was the combined bands to end the night. Jim Bradley
