Composer James
Reese Europe, one of the
most famous
African-American
musicians of his day, was
called the Martin Luther
King of music by pianist
Eubie Blake. The first
African-American
bandmaster in the United
States Army, Europe
gained great popularity
as a dance band leader, a
military band leader,
recording artist, and a
composer of merit. Known
in New York music
circles, and also for
touring Europe with his
National Guard band,
Europe is remembered
today for composing
several works, including
Castles In Europe with
the subtitle The
Innovation Trot - Ragtime
March. This delightful
work is arranged for
todayâ??s concert band
by Chandler L. Wilson. An
enjoyable ragtime work
from an American composer
to be remembered!
