Stuyvesant Cove Park Association Music Event: Jazzmobile Presents the Harlem Renaissance Orchestra
Monday, July 19th, 2010| July 27, 2010 | ||
| 7:00 pm | to | 8:30 pm |
Jazzmobile is a 45-year-old NYC nonprofit dedicated to presenting, preserving, promoting and propagating jazz music as “America’s classical music”. Their programs include a summer festival, a jazz vocal competition and workshops, seminars and lectures to raise awareness of jazz as a unique American art form.
The Harlem Renaissance Orchestra’s mission is to revive the music of the Big Band Era and to preserve this music in its living form by giving recognition to the following great creators: Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Pops Louie Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Lucky Millinder, Earl Fatha Hines, Billy Eckstine, Lionel Hampton, and others. Our goal is to reestablish Harlem as the Big Band Mecca of the world.
The orchestra maintains a nucleus of ten veteran musicians. These musicians have engaged in performances around the world and acquired college degrees in Music Performance and in Education. As a result, their contributions have provided a firm foundation over a span of twenty years. Collectively and with conscious effort, we have been able to blend the talents of fine young musicians with more mature musicians, thus producing a sound that is enjoyed by music lovers of all ages.
Presented by the Stuyvesant Cove Park association as part of the Helen W. Collins Music Series.
