Zim Zemarel was a legendary band leader in Balimore MD for many years. He served in the Coast Guard, as I remember, during WW2 and was a sales rep for Columbia records before heading up his Big Band playing in the style of Miller, Goodman, Shaw etc. His group played at many inaugural balls for many presidents. The main social events in Baltimore were not complete without tje presence of Zim's group. He had many smaller combos to fit the needs of any occasion. He was a guitarist and occasional vocalist. Zim passed away about 6 years ago but his music continues through the efforts of his key band members who still perform under Zim's name. His band was ussed in several films, one being "Avalon". His son Jamie was a vocalist with the band and I believe is still performing in the DC area. Zim was a fine friend and I miss him.
