[Dixielandjazz] ElDorado Jazz Band

[Richard Karner]

This will be short.  Started in the early '50's, and fronted by trombonist Jim Leigh who, I believe, is the only surviving member.  Danny Ruedger took over the band in the early '60's.  Tradjazz Productions will soon be issueing two new cd's featuring Jim Leigh's ElDorado JB from the '50's along with Ev Farey's Bay City Jazz Band.  Jim Leigh is the trombonist with Gremoli and writes a column for the Misissippi Rag.
