Join the Jim Cullum Jazz Band this July 7th to July 12th for a 3-day/2-night
jazz experience in the historic New Orleans French Quarter, and a 3-night
Mississippi River cruise with Jim and the Band aboard the most luxurious
paddlewheel steamboat ever built, the American Queen!

Some of you may have joined us in previous years when we cruised on the
Delta Queen and the Mississippi Queen combined with the private JCJB New
Orleans experience. It's time for a reunion and to make new friends from
around the world once again.

Features:

1. HISTORIC FRENCH QUARTER OF NEW ORLEANS for 3 days, 2 nights:

MINI-FESTIVAL: Soak up some great traditional jazz with the JCJB and several
New Orleans bands. The ultimate jam session!

CLUB CRAWL: Follow the JCJB as we "sit in" at our private stash of
out-of-the-way French Quarter jazz clubs.

DINNER at an exclusive French Quarter restaurant TBD.

PARADE: "Second Line" behind the JCJB and friends as we parade through the
French Quarter, ending up at the American Queen. We will augment the band to
form an authentic New Orleans brass street band. Bring your flags, party
hats, and be ready for the New Orleans-style action! Several stops will be
scheduled for refreshments.

The fun will begin on the early evening of July 7, so plan your arrival for
earlier in the day!

2. AMERICAN QUEEN STEAMBOAT CRUISE: Then we board the American Queen
steamboat for a journey round trip from New Orleans (with stops in Baton
Rouge and at Oak Alley Plantation) from July 9th to the 12th.

Three nights of romance and great hot jazz with the JCJB aboard the American
Queen, the grandest of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company's fleet.
