Come hear your State Reserve Band bring to life the
fascinating and forgotten tale of Jim Europe! Attendance is free and open to
the public.
A leading African-American musician and soldier, Europe's
enormous talents helped shape the transition from ragtime to jazz and
consequently broke down color barriers. All of the music performed are
historically accurate compositions and scores as played by Jim Europe’s
ensembles, using instruments common to the period to accurately reproduce the
music as it sounded 100 years ago.
Cost: Free
