June 2021 Community Recording Project

This project is finished. Listen to what we made!




Here is the project page we used:

Hello!

This month, Community Band is learning & recording the Duke Ellington band classic "Black and Tan Fantasy", "the 1927 composition in which he blended together the growling gutbucket trumpet of Bubber Miley, a Victorian religious ballad, and the funeral march from Chopin's B-Flat Minor Piano Sonata, an exotic-sounding brew that put him on the map of early jazz." -from the book Duke by Terry Teachout.


You are invited to participate in this recording project!


Email me at loganhone@gmail.com to tell me you want to play & I will get you sheet music or help you come up with a part to play.




There will be 2 Zoom meetings for this project. If you can't make one or both of the meetings, you can still submit a recording!
