Michael Weiss Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 The French-American Cultural Foundation is sponsoring this concert to celebrate the introduction of jazz to France by the Harlem Hellfighters and James Reese Europe in 1917. Should make for an interesting concert. Don't miss an unforgettable evening of history and swinging jazz, as leading American and French jazz artists celebrate the African-American soldiers who introduced American jazz to France in 1917. The Harlem Hell Fighters’ courage and music will be celebrated by France's famed gypsy jazz guitarist, Christian Escoudé, Michael Weiss Trio Plus One, the Air Force's Airmen of Note, and the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra ensemble. Lisner Auditorium, November 15 @ 7:00pm This is the concert that Alvin Queen was prevented from performing thanks to the DHS. We will carry on in his spirit. Quote
