Marcus Shelby Orchestra
Bay Area bassist, composer, educator, and Artistic Director of the Healdsburg Jazz Festival Marcus Shelby will bring his 15-piece Orchestra for our first Big Band Sunday. For this performance, Shelby will present his original suite “Black Ball: The Negro Leagues and the Blues” that celebrates the history and legacy of Black baseball through songs, video, theatrics, singers, dancers, and clowns. The music honors baseball legends such as Satchel Paige, Josh Gipson, Jackie Robinson, Orlando Cepeda, Willie Mays, and more. The music captures the sound of the game using blues, ballads, and swing to bring to life strikeouts, arguments with umps, and home runs.
Featuring special guests Martin Luther McCoy and Paige Mayes.
