Rome Neal's BANANA PUDDIN' JAZZ presents Bill Lee's 82nd Big Band Birthday Bash at Nuyorican Poets Cafe on July 3, 2010.
Heralding an unmistakable and poignant Brooklyn sound,
Bill Lee and the Natural Spiritual Orchestra has been swingin' for three decades. Mr. Lee's Natural Spiritual Orchestra is comprised
of 20 of NYC's finest jazzmen and jazzwomen,
playing an intriguing range of all original compositions
that exude the grit, humanity, color and soul of Brooklyn.
This is an ensemble capable of truly stirring musical
expression, and a delight for all fortunate enough to behold.
Bandleader and composer Bill Lee is a formidable icon in
both his bass prowess, (performing and/or recording with the
likes of Odetta, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Griffin
to name a few) and his gifted composers pen, scoring his son,
Spike Lee's films: She's Gotta Have It, School Daze, Do the
Right Thing, and Mo' Better Blues.
