The Dance Clarinets—an ensemble of a dozen clarinets of all shapes and sizes plus drums, ledby J. D. Parran—performs a music from the Ragtime era by the seminal bandleader, unionorganizer, and advocate of African-American music and culture, James Reese Europe. A set ofmusic with clarinets and a jazz rhythm section follows the large ensemble. Europe was the musical director for the 369 th Infantry Brigade, an all African-American andPuerto Rican military unit that was sent to the front lines in France at the end of World War Iand that became the single most decorated unit of the war, that never lost a battle, and thatwas nicknamed “the Harlem Hellfighters” for their ferocity. They revolutionized music bypresenting an African-diasporic revisioning of marching band music that amazed Europeanaudiences and that provided a link between marching band music and jazz big band music.
