All that Jazz - Author Talk

ALL THAT JAZZ: New York Times bestselling author Larry Tye will be in-conversation local jazz educator Mick Carlon on Tye's new book -- The Jazzmen: How Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Count Basie Transformed America -- with a special focus on the once rip-roaring jazz scene on Cape Cod. The Jazzmen zeros in on these legendary maestros' lives off their bandstands, and how they wrote the soundtrack for the civil rights movement. With a band playing top-tapping music of Ellington, Armstrong and Basie.

Museums on the Green, Monday, August 5th at 4pm.

Larry Tye was an award-winning journalist at the Boston Globe and is author of nine books, including bios of Bobby Kennedy, Joe McCarthy, Satchel Paige and Superman. A resident of Cotuit, Tye runs a Boston-based fellowship program for health journalists.
