Down These Mean Streets (old Time Radio Detectives)

Jack Webb blends jazz with downbeat crime drama in Pete Kelly's Blues.  This short-lived series spawned an Academy Award nominated film and a TV show.  Webb stars as Pete Kelly, a cornet player in 1920s Kansas City.  Kelly and his combo play in a speakeasy, and Kelly finds all kinds of trouble in the crowd that comes in for drinks and music.  We'll hear "Zelda," originally aired on NBC on September 5, 1951.
