Jim Cullum Jazz Band
I have been catching pieces of "Riverwalk, Live from the Landing" on Univ of North Texas' Jazz Stations http://www.kntu.com and it features the Jim Cullum Jazz Band from San Antonio.
They have a nice New Orleans sound. But the thing that strikes me most is the vocalist they feature a lot, Nina Ferro. She apparently is from Austrailia and has a great voice.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these two artists?
The only place I have Jim Cullum's CDs is at http://www.jazzbymail.com/albums_rw/rwvjc.html.
One CD that caught my attention was "American Love Songs" which has a cut with Joe Williams singing an uptempo "Singing in the Rain". As well as several selections with Nina Ferro.
It's like I want to buy the whole catalog, each CD has some great cuts on them.....Someone talk some sense into me.....

Don't have too much to add, except that I have American Love Songs. My favorite track, though too fast (260) to play often around here, is "What A Little Moonlight Can Do". "Singin' in the Rain" didn't go over with newer dancers, but I intend to try it again soon with experienced dancers. In all, there are 5 tracks which I could envision playing at some point. Definite buy in my book.

If you're in the Twin Citites, there are definately some dancers who wouldn't mind some more 260 neighborhood material.flyingcamel wrote:My favorite track, though too fast (260) to play often around here, is "What A Little Moonlight Can Do".
