[Dixielandjazz] Mission City Hot Rhythm Cats in San Antonio

[Daniel Augustine]

DJMLers--
     Just wanted to alert you to a new band in San Antonio who just  
played a concert here in Austin hosted by the Austin Traditonal Jazz  
Society.
     Their name is the Mission City Hot Rhythm Cats (http:// 
missioncityjazz.com/index.htm) and three of their players used to  
play in Jim Cullum's band: Mike Pittsley (trombone), Mark Hess  
(piano), and Ed Torres (drums).  In addition, they have David Jellema  
(cornet, clarinet), Pierre Poree (clarinet, alto sax, vocals), and  
Tim Paco (bass).
     Their expertise and style is pretty close (not surprisingly) to  
Cullum's, and they're capable of being a nationally known band for  
tours and festivals.  My review of their performance is at http://

     I don't know if any of them are on DJML, but i've already sent  
them some of Steve Barbone's excellent comments on using CD Baby, and  
i'm sure they'd be interested in more of his great marketing ideas.
