Riverwalk Jazz

Riverwalk Jazz is a popular weekly public radio series distributed by Public Radio International.

The series began broadcasting in 1989 and is produced by PVPMedia. The principal performing band on Riverwalk Jazz is the Jim Cullum Jazz Band. The series co-hosts are bandleader Jim Cullum, Jr. and folklorist and storyteller David Holt. Jim Cullum's Landing Jazz Club [1] on the Paseo Del Rio (San Antonio River Walk) in San Antonio, Texas serves as the venue where most of the hour-long shows are produced.

In 2012, the Riverwalk Jazz Collection was donated to the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound by PVPMedia. Two continuous streams of almost every Riverwalk show can be accessed from Stanford's Riverwalk Jazz site.

As of 2014 the band is a quartet, the Riverwalk Jazz show doesn't seem to be still in production, they have long been out of the Landing venue on the Riverwalk.

Through the use of live music performance, narration, autobiographies, historical recordings and musical demonstrations, the series focuses on jazz from before World War II as played by the great pioneers such as Jelly Roll Morton, Joe "King" Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Sidney Bechet, Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson and many more. Also featured are the lives and music of the great interwar pop composers such as George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, Harry Warren, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern and many others.
