1 Middle Street near Pleasant Street, Brunswick ME

13 November, 2021

Description

Novel Jazz Septet kicks off the reopening of the UUCB Concerts for a Cause series on November 13th. These accomplished jazz musicians draw from the Great American Songbook and specialize in the works of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, who together wrote some 3000 compositions over their musical careers. During Covid, the band has kept busy practicing and doing arrangements of new Ellington and Strayhorn tunes, some collected from the Smithsonian Museum of American History as well as the Library of Congress. The band has recorded 3 CD’s. Several two-hour programs dedicated to Novel Jazz have been broadcast on Maine Public Radio’s jazz show, “Jazz Tonight.” Two-thirds of the proceeds from all this season’s concerts will benefit Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program and Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project. MASKING AND PROOF OF COVID VACCINES OR NEGATIVE TEST WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE DOOR.
