This enjoyable CD reissues the second album by clarinetist Jim Cullum Sr.'s Happy Jazz Band and half of the third. Cullum's Dixieland septet features his son, Jim Cullum Jr. (who was already quite recognizable on cornet), trombonist Gene McKinney, pianist Cliff Gillette, banjoist Ben Valfrey, Wilson Davis on tuba, and drummer Harvey Kindervater. The performances are spirited, mixing together warhorses with lesser-played tunes. Cullum Sr. and Jr. both take many fine solos, and the highlights include "Peculiar Rag," "Royal Garden Blues," "Milneburg Joys," "Panama," and "Papa Dip." Easily recommended to Dixieland collectors. ~ Scott Yanow
