Life Long Learning: The Jazzmen: How Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie Transformed America with author Larry Tye
February 12 @ 1:00 pm
The Jazzmen is a sweeping and spellbinding portrait of the longtime kings of jazz, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie. It looks mainly at these three maestros’ lives off the bandstand, and how they wrote the soundtrack for the civil rights revolution. The audience will be in person and Larry Tye will be joining us via zoom.
Larry Tye is the New York Times bestselling author of Satchel and Bobby Kennedy. He graduated from Brown University. He taught journalism at Boston University, Northeastern, and Tufts.
