Harlem Speaks: George Gee, Bandleader
Thursday September 27, 2012 from 6:30pm - 8:30pm
National Jazz Museum in Harlem
104 E 126th St
New York, New York 10035 Get Directions
While he was a freshman at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, George Gee launched his 'Make-Believe Ballroom' program (named after the vintage Martin Block show) on the college radio station - and told everyone who'd listen about his dream of leading his own big band. In an era when punk, new wave and heavy metal ruled, some first thought that George was revisiting the past. Twenty-five years later, it is clear that George was just way ahead of his time. George also revels in his stature as a veritable Ambassador of Swing. George is a much sough-after authority on the evolution of the art.
