An Evening of Classic Jazz at Rabobank Theater. Join the Bakersfield Community Concert Association for a concert by the Jim Cullum Jazz Band.

The Jim Cullum Jazz Band are professional musicians known worldwide for their spirited commitment to the performance and celebration of classic jazz, bringing a lively sense of enthusiasm to this music they love, keeping it alive and growing as an art form and cultural tradition. They have over 45 recordings and can be heard weekly in over 200 cities across the country on the public radio series, Riverwalk Jazz, now nearing its 20th season.

The Jim Cullum Jazz Band has a great time bringing the past into focus. This San Antonio-based group reinvigorates old favorites for contemporary audiences. Leader Jim Cullum plays a cornet similar to the one used by the legendary Bix Beiderbecke, and each band member is an expert in period instruments and performance. But this isn't a group stuck in the past—the band's distinctive, high-test style pours joyfully out of every number. With the Jim Cullum Jazz Band, the music is alive and definitely kicking.

Pre-concert music will be provided by the Bakersfield High School Chamber Singers under the direction of Christopher Borges.
