Description
The Glad Hatters Jazz Band (cornet, clarinet, trombone, guitar, tuba, & drums) will play tunes commonly played by Jim Cullum Sr’s Happy Jazz Band (1960’s through early 70’s), Jim Cullum Jr’s Jazz Band (1970s until Jim’s passing in 2019). This family entertained San Antonio and the world for several decades with tunes by Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Bix Beiderbecke, and many more. After we listen to recordings of Jim Cullum’s Band playing a couple of choruses of various tunes like Cakewalkin’ Babies from Home, Milenburg Joys, Struttin’ with Some Barbecue, and Singing the Blues, the Glad Hatters Jazz Band will entertain you with our own rendition of many of these tunes as we all learn about and enjoy the development of the Jim Cullum Jazz Bands over several decades.
