The Landing is a Restaurant and jazz club on the river walk down town here in San Antonio, Texas. Finding it is very easy being located directly across a local famous San Antonio land mark “The Alamo”. What makes the restaurant interesting is the music, ‘Live Jazz”; with there being a couple jazz groups such as Small World and Star Quarlet by David Jellema. I believe the main attraction is The Jim Cullum Jazz Band. The band was originally a seven piece ensemble, but sometimes the whole band does not play. The band usually plays Tuesday to Saturday starting at 8:00 pm. The landing has strong history in San Antonio. The area it resides was being constructed in the 1920’s. The Restaurant didn’t open till around 1963 in April When Hugman met the Cullums.

The restaurant was on instant success due to it being one of the only attractions on the river walk, and what it had to offer. The Landing due to its popularity became a regular hang out for popular Jazz musicians, which all played at the landing. The Landing rose to fame quickly which it’s traditional Jazz style and music. Modern day the Landing is one of the oldest Jazz clubs period. The only one being still in business and older is the preservation Hall in New Orleans. The band brags over four-hundred arrangements and about the same Jam tunes. The band plays in a traditional manner dated during the 1440’s. The base of the band is of Jelly Roll Morton, The New Orleans Rhyme Kings, Louis Armstrong, etc. The band is very into commute, with out reach program that help kids play Jazz associated to the YMCA.

Personally I love jazz going to visit The Landing was a great experience; I had no idea it even existed. Furthermore I strongly believe I will vist The Landing again, possibly taking a date; I strongly recommend that male readers do the same due to the fact that men should ask out women and The Landing making a perfect date spot.
