Join us at The Dreamland as the Nantucket
Arts Council presents another new edition of their long-running Downtown
Concert Series featuring the well-known and nationally popular New Black Eagle
Jazz Band!
For over
forty years, from Symphony Hall to Singapore, the New Black Eagle Jazz Band has
delighted audiences worldwide with its infectious, soulful and uplifting style
of traditional New Orleans jazz. Paying homage to the greatest musicians of the
early jazz era- Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington -the band
has also developed its own eclectic sound, incorporating spirituals, 1920’s and
30’s popular music and even some songs recorded by Elvis and Bob Dylan!
Widely-recognized as one of the premier traditional jazz bands in the world,
the Black Eagles enjoy performing in a variety of settings, from intimate pubs
to huge concert halls. They have been featured in numerous prestigious jazz
festivals, including the Newport, Kool, JVC, Tanglewood, Edinburgh, and New
Orleans Jazz and Heritage festivals. The band has also appeared in concerts
accompanied by symphony orchestras- the Scottish National Symphony, the
Delaware Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony and the Boston Pops among many
others. With a Grammy nomination to their credit, a vast repertoire, seven
inspired musicians, and a highly entertaining stage manner, it’s no wonder that
the New York Times has noted that the Black Eagles are "So far ahead of
other traditional bands...there is scarcely any basis for comparison."
