Tom Baker – The San Francisco Tradition

In the late 1930s Lu Watters' Yerba Buena Jazz Band launched the world-wide traditional jazz revival on the West Coast of the United States and established the San Francisco style. From a number of live performances recorded at the North Sydney Leagues Club, Tom Baker's Big Bear Jazz Band, with various guests, takes us back to those wonderful days.
