[Dixielandjazz] R.I.P. Morty Jacobs

[Bill Haesler]

Robert Ringwald provided an interesting and informative obit for Morty Jacobs, George Burns' Longtime Musical Collaborator,  which contained the following throwaway sentence:

> When John F. Kennedy was "swinging" his way through Southern California on a flatbed
> truck during his 1960 presidential campaign, Jacobs was the musical director and
> conductor for the live jazz band.

Dear Bob and US listmates,
What is that all about?
A jazz band!
Who, why, when and where?
Any pics?
Kind regards,
Bill.
