David Ostwald's Louis Armstrong Eternity Band at Rutherfurd Hall

Sunday, February 17, 2019 - 3:00pm

David Ostwald has performed with Wynton Marsalis, Dick Hyman, Nicholas Payton, Clark Terry, Benny Waters, Woody Allen, Jon Hendricks, Leon Redbone and the Oxford University Orchestral Society under Sir Jack Westrup. He’s written extensively about jazz music and serves on the board of the Louis Armstrong House Museum. Inspired by the noble jazz pioneers Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton and their colleagues, David Ostwald’s Louis Armstrong Eternity Band breathes life and passion into America’s own great art form.  Since 1980, this acoustically electrifying group has appeared nationally and internationally in varied settings - currently in the seventeenth year of its open-ended weekly Wednesday evening engagement at New York City’s Birdland, at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer’s Night Swing, at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, at Jazz in July at the 92nd Street Y, at Lionel Hampton’s New Orleans-style funeral procession, and at four appearances at Scotland’s Nairn International Jazz Festival. The band was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1986.

Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door.
