New Black Eagle Jazz Band at Cultural Center Of Cape Cod

About

The Black Eagles open their 47th season bringing the sounds of traditional New Orleans Jazz to audiences all over the world. Many regard them as the premier band playing in the traditional style - jazz plus ragtime, blues, familiar pop tunes and early swing - music made famous by such jazz greats as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, George Lewis, Kid Ory, Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, Paul Barbarin and, of course, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, representing the best in the history of New Orleans jazz. In the words of the N.Y. Times' music critic John Wilson, "the Black Eagles are so far ahead of other traditional bands...there is scarcely any basis for comparison."
