McMillan Library presents the New Black Eagle Band

Description

McMillan Library presents:  the New Black Eagle Jazz Band
If you like the uplifting and soulful music of new Orleans, you'll love the sound of the new Black Eagle Jazz Band.
Formed in 1971, this seven-piece band has delighted audiences all over the world with their huge and eclectic repertoire of jazz from the 1920's and 30's.
The group as a mature mastery of this great American music-from Louis Armstrong & Jelly Roll Morton to early Duke Ellington to Cole Porter.
In fact, the New York Times' John Wilson wrote that the Black Eagles are "so far ahead of the other traditional bands....there is scarcely any basis for comparison."

This concert is sponsored by the Mead Witter Foundation.
Piano provided by Heid Music.
