Concert: Alex Prizgintas- "Music of the Jazz Ambassadors"
Acclaimed Cellist Alex Prizgintas presents "Music of the Jazz Ambassadors" on Saturday, April 20 at 7 p.m. on the library's main floor.
The Jazz Ambassadors was a title given to a number of leading jazz artists from America who acted as Good Will Ambassadors starting in 1956. They included Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, and Dave Brubeck. This effort was aimed at improving the image of the United States with criticism of racial inequality and racial tension. These Ambassadors were sponsored by the U.S. State Department and toured Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central and Southern Asia, and Africa.
