About the event

BIG EASY JAZZ
An ensemble of accomplished Richmond musicians explore the rich repertoire of New Orleans jazz - from Buddy Bolden to Louis Armstrong and many others.

New Orleans’s jazz is a 20th-century type of collectively improvised ensemble music that draws from several sources: ragtime, blues, marches (syncopated brass bands), African American religious music (gospel hymns), European classical music, popular song, minstrelsy, and musicals. New Orleans jazz is unique, having evolved from the African and Caribbean call-and-response chants and drumming practiced by African Americans in the city during the post–Civil War era, and from the dance music played by brass bands that became popular in that city. The improvisational element of jazz is attributed to their creativity and to the need for New Orleans musicians, many of whom could not read music, to extend songs for dancers and in parades. Drawing from blues elements and quickening the tempo of the music, the seven-member ensembles created the basics of what would become jazz. [Adapted from The Timeline of African American Music, Carnegie Hall, by Douglas Henry Daniels, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus in the Departments of Black Studies and History, and former Chair of Black Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.]

The ensemble includes: Gary Haliday (piano); Brandon Musko (clarinet/tenor sax); Mike Moore (bass); Buz King (drums); Andy Cortez (trumpet); and Philip Jones (trombone).
