Set in Kansas City during the 1920s, the series centered on Pete Kelly, a trumpet player and the leader of Pete Kelly's Original Big Seven Big. Dixieland trumpet player, Dick Cathcart, who's best known as a member of The Lawrence Welk Show, was dubbed in for the actual playing of Kelly's trumpet.[1]
Than Wyenn as George Lupo (Lupo was frequently mention in the radio series, but never actually appeared; Wyenn did play a different character in the movie version.)
