[Dixielandjazz] Gennett - Classic Jazz of the 1920s - Music born in Richmond Indiana

[Stephen G Barbone]

Sounds like a great concert if you are in the area. Especially if you  
are a JRM fan. Richmond is between Dayton OH and Indianapolis IN. Near  
Columbus and Cincinnati OH also.

Cheers,

RE:     DAPOGNY AND SCHUMM TO PERFORM “MUSIC BORN IN RICHMOND”

Classic jazz of the 1920s - first recorded on 78-rpm discs by  
Richmond's Gennett Records - will be recreated by some of the world's  
finest practitioners of this unique music at 6:30 p.m., Saturday,  
November 13, at Vivian Auditorium, Indiana University East.

James Dapogny's Chicago Jazz Band will present "Music Born In  
Richmond," a program of classic jazz first recorded on the Gennett  
label. The concert is part of the Starr Gennett Foundation's Legacy  
Concert Series, in which today's musicians celebrate the Gennett  
recording legacy.

Dapogny, a dynamic jazz pianist and longtime music professor at the  
University of Michigan, is regarded as a leading authority on Jelly  
Roll Morton's music. His Chicago Jazz Band has built an international  
reputation by specializing in the early jazz style. Cornetist Andy  
Schumm, who has traveled the world playing early jazz, will guest with  
the band.

Joining Dapogny in a pre-concert discussion will be Rick Kennedy,  
author of the book "Jelly Roll, Bix and Hoagy", a history of Gennett  
Records. Dapogny and Kennedy will describe the circumstances that led  
jazz pioneers to Gennett's Richmond studio. This will "set the stage"  
for the evening's concert.

also available at Indiana University East (Bookstore), the Chamber of  
Commerce, the Wayne County Tourism Bureau, and the Leland Residence.
