GERM on ZOOM: Feb 24, 2021

This week at the Golden Era Recorded Music Project...

Another great trumpet from the DUKE ELLINGTON ORCHESTRA, COOTIE WILLIAMS, starts us off with IRVING BERLIN...

AND NOW IT'S AROUND THE WOIRLD!

Let's start in TRINIDAD with the steel drums of the BIG SHELL BAND from1958 and COOK RECORDS. And why not some GAMELON from JAVA (INDONESIA)?

Speaking of percussion, TITO PUENTE solo will raise the roof with his energy (Cuba)...

AND THEN we go to the BOSTON POPS in 1963 on the CHARLES RIVER ESPLANADE. I can smell the vendor clam rolls and chowdah now!

Next it's RAVI SHANKAR (INDIA), YEHUDI MENUHIN (USA) with WEST MEETS EAST (Alla Rakha, tabla) To end the trip, the PENGUIN CAFE ORCHESTRA (England).

We send out a link for the Zoom meeting every Wednesday by email! Please contact us and let us know if you'd like to be added to the mailing list.

See you all at 7 pm TONIGHT!
