Library Jazz Band NYC

In a second episode recorded at Lehman College Podcast Studio (special thanks to Steve, our technician) Doc and Dave visited with two of the founders of a fantastic community jazz band in the New York City area, the Library Jazz Band. Nancy Maron is the leader who pulled all of this together as a saxophone player. She had stopped playing after college and a while later joined a community concert band or two and really missed jazz. On top of that, the hole that the pandemic-shut-down created among musicians lead her and a few others to form a new band in 2021. This is a great story about the birth of a band and it’s rapid rise in the region. Nancy is the Artistic Director and plays Alto and Soprano Sax in the band and is busy handling most of the administrative decisions. Rob Sussman is an accomplished trombone performer and arranger who was an original member of the Library Jazz Band. The band is so good, librarians don’t “shush” them!!
