Celebrating 10 Years of Local Talent & Great Jazz!
This October, Louis Armstrong Legacy Monthly Jazz Jam is turning ten! To celebrate the occasion, the house band will be joined by members of Queens Jazz OverGround.
The monthly jam began its journey of great jazz in October 2011 as an educational program in collaboration with the Aaron Copeland School of Music at Queens College in order to provide a platform for young jazz musicians to play music together. About three years later, the monthly jam transformed into a program for amateur and professional musicians and public audiences under the lead of Queens Jazz OverGround.
Following the opening by the current house jazz band, Queens Jazz OverGround will play Dinah by Harry Akst, and Joe Young, as featured in the famous Copenhagen film of Louis Armstrong's band from 1933.
The band will feature:
- Josh Deutsch, trumpet (founding member, Queens Jazz OverGround)
- Hashem Assadullahi, alto saxophone (current member, Queens Jazz OverGround)
- Amanda Monaco, guitar (founding member, Queens Jazz OverGround)
- Eugenia Choe, piano (current member, Queens Jazz OverGround)
- Richard Mikel, bass
- Brian Woodruff, drums (founding and current member, Queens Jazz OverGround)
For those unable to attend, virtual audiences from across the globe can still join the livestream and tune in for free via Flushing Town Hall’s Facebook page, and YouTube Channel.
This program is supported in part by a grant from The Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation, Inc.
