Went on an MAS tour of Harlem jazz history today and learned a bunch of new things and about Will Marion Cook and also saw Fletcher Henderson's house on Strivers' row. So much amazing history around here.
An example of a Will Marion Cook composition performed by Bill Eddins and the New World Symphony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E0czU7dARQ

>No one meant as much to Ra as Fletcher Henderson (1897–1952). With the exception of Ellington, no bandleader's repertoire was honored more in Ra's set lists than the man who invented the jazz big band.
