In this Black History Month episode of “One More Time: A Wind Band Podcast,” we’re diving into what it’s like to be a Black American in the music field through conversations with three Black undergraduate students of music at the University of Illinois and the Juilliard School (Ivana Owana, Njioma Grevious, and Kayla Williams), as well as Dr. Kelvin Jones, Assistant Director of Bands and the Director of the Marching Tigers at Louisiana State University.This episode also has an interview with Scott Schwartz, Director of the Sousa Archives and Center for American Music, about James Reese Europe, a Black American jazz bandleader and composer during the turn of the 20th century, as well as our Two Minute Rehearsal Technique with Dr. Erica Neidlinger of DePaul University.
