Concert and Masterclass by Dave Douglas PDF Print E-mail

Dave Douglas and Brass Ecstasy - Music @ W&LOn Saturday 24 October 2009, Dave Douglas comes to Washington and Lee with his quintet, Brass Ecstasy. The concert is at 8pm in Wilson Hall. A reception will follow the performance.


In addition, Douglas will lead a session entitled "Being a jazz musician in the 21st century" at 3pm in Wilson Hall.

If anyone at all is qualified to talk about this issue, it is Douglas.  From his New York base, where he’s lived since the mid 1980s, he has earned lavish national and international acclaim, including being named trumpeter, composer, and jazz “Artist of the Year” by such organizations as the New York Jazz Awards, DownBeat, JazzTimes, Jazziz, and the Italian Jazz Critics’ Society. This should be of interest to jazz musicians, jazz fans and anyone at all curious about the state of jazz today.

All events are free to the public.
