In the hands of the Jim Cullum Jazz Band, American jazz is hot and lively, with a mix of music by Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton. Jim Cullum’s lifelong passion has been researching, preserving and presenting jazz and popular song from the turn of the 20th century to the mid-1940s. Dick Hyman (right) has made so many appearances on Cullum’s radio show, “Riverwalk, Live from the Landing,” that he is often called the eighth member of the band. In an impressive musical career, Hyman has excelled as a pianist, organist, arranger, conductor and composer. Hyman has investigated the earliest periods of jazz and ragtime and has recorded the music of Scott Joplin, James P. Johnson, Eubie Blake, Fats Waller and others.
