“Jim Cullum leads one of the finest classic
jazz/Dixieland bands…” said Scott Yanow of AllMusic. The band has
played to sold-out audiences from the Kennedy Center to the Austin City Limits
music festival. They play in the classic manner, in the style of small, hot
ensembles prior to WWII and their repertoire covers a lot of ground--from
19th-century cakewalks to the small pre-war Benny Goodman ensembles. Jim Cullum,
the band’s leader, is a jazz cornetist who has been active mostly in San
Antonio, Texas for over 50 years. Beginning in a partnership with his late
father, a clarinetist, Mr. Cullum also has specialized, developing an individual
sound from the pre-World War II traditional jazz stylings. He is influenced,
though not dominated, by the playing of Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, Garner
Clark and the blues singing of Bessie Smith.
As a young man Cullum and his father, a musician
who played in the great jazz orchestras of Jack Teagarden, formed their own jazz
band and invested in a jazz club called the Landing in the Riverwalk area of San
Antonio, Texas. After his father’s death, Cullum continued the club, bringing in
renowned jazz musicians to play with his house band. Cullum’s band, when they
are not on tour, continues to play regularly at the relocated Landing jazz club,
now in the Hyatt Regency hotel.
One of the highlights of Mr. Cullum’s career, that
has brought him national acclaim, is his development of and performance in
Riverwalk Jazz. This highly successful weekly radio program airs
nationally on public radio. His ability to educate, as well as entertain, has
made his Riverwalk Jazz broadcasts a cornerstone in NPR circles.
