[Dixielandjazz] The Landing From Mike Pittsley

[Dave Gravatt - New Creole Jazz Band]

Just wondering if anyone knows the full story on this. From the few posts 
and news bits I've read, it sounds like Cullum willingly sold The Landing, 
then possibly was somewhat surprised when the band was cancelled. I 
sincerely hope that that is not the case and can't imagine it was, but the 
wording of some of the posts and messages about this make it sound like the 
band's departure from the Landing after the sale was not actually an 
expected part of the package. Just curious.
