Because jazz has been around for such a long time, dating back to the beginning of the twentieth century, there are only a hand full of musicians still playing it now days. Jim’s first engagement was with a high school jazz band that played for Dan Blocker “Hoss Cartwright” when he was in town for a political rally. After attending junior college for two years and a state college for one year studying jazz improvisation, Jim started playing single engagements through out the Dallas-Fort Worth area in different jazz bands. His steady engagements started with a jazz band playing “The Point”, a series of nightclubs in Dallas and Arlington, for year and a half. During this time, he also played with another jazz band that performed for the Ronald Regan’s Presidential Balls in Washington DC. Now, Jim Plays with six other jazz bands plus leading his jazz band in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
