Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Doctor Jazz
The Jim Cullum Jazz Band, a traditional jazz group based at "The Landing" in San Antonio, has recorded this song, with vocal by Vernel Bagneris, on a CD entitled "Fireworks." They have a weekly Sunday jazz program, focusing especially on the history of the music, on public radio in the U.S. Prior to hearing their version, legendary trombonist Jack Teagarden also recorded the song as an instrumental on an album called "Big T's Dixieland Band," some time in the late 1950's, I think. I had the pleasure of seeing the band in San Antonio about seven years ago and, if you like traditional jazz, I highly recommend a visit if you are in that area. "The Landing" is right on the main portion of the Riverwalk, in the bottom floor of the Hyatt Regency hotel, directly across from the Alamo. This was not a commercial, by the way.
