Tickets: $35 / GPAC Family: $30

The Jim Cullum Jazz Band, most known as the star of Riverwalk Jazz, on public radio since 1987 and heard on over 150 stations and online. The Band plays jazz in the classic manner, in the style of small, hot ensembles prior to WWII. Its repertoire covers a lot of ground--from 19th-century cakewalks to the small pre-war Benny Goodman ensembles. You’ll hear 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 Hoagy Carmichael.

They frequently perform live in big venues like Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap, and major worldwide jazz festivals. This is a rare opportunity to hear this renowned band live in a smaller venue at The Glenridge.
