tablasAbout
In this nine-piece chamber jazz ensemble work (featuring six horn players), saxophonist Brian McCarthy explores popular songs of the American Civil War, and introduces original material based on figures and events of the era. The show is inspired by Abraham Lincolnโs appeal to โthe better angels of our natureโ in his first inaugural address, as he pleaded with our divided nation to avoid the looming specter of civil war.
