[Dixielandjazz] Jimmy Rivers

[Charlie Hull]

Jazz guitarist Jimmy Rivers recently died in his home near Sacramento,
California.

Jimmy was best known in western swing circles, but played solid, earthy,
bluesy jazz and worked and toured in the U.S. and Europe in such company as
Wild Bill Davison.

He remained dynamic personality and player until his last years, which were
plagued by heart problems, cancer, and recurring pneumonia.
