The
Left Bank Jazz Society, launched in 1964 by jazz aficionado Benny
Kearse, arrived at a time when Baltimore's jazz scene was in decline and
its racial tensions were worsening. Against that background it was a
progressive, integrationist group that, over the course of more than 30
years, brought most of the great names of jazz to its Sunday soirees:
Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz, John
Coltrane, Art Blakey, Maynard Ferguson and many others. - See more at:
