Event Description:
This Free Zoom Presentation will be hosted and led by clarinetist Dr. Michael White, who will discuss the origins, musical style, functions, social significance, and evolution of the New Orleans brass band tradition. Later in the program White will introduce and lead a discussion with two other important veteran figures in brass bands: trumpeter Gregg Stafford and (tuba) sousaphone player Bennie Pete, the leader of the Hot 8 Brass Band. The program and discussion are sure to be as hot and exciting as New Orleans brass band music itself.
