PRJC Educational Discussion:
The Three B's: DC vs New Orleans music scences, and New Orleans clarinetist Barney Bigard
Presented by Ben Redwine
Wednesday, July 28, 2021, 7-8:15pm, ONLINE via Zoom
Our online Jazz Talk series continues with The Three B’s featuring Ben Redwine. Many of you remember Ben Redwine.
He was local to the DC area and he played a number of times for the PRJC. He moved to New Orleans a while back, and what a great way to keep him in the fold.
The “Three B’s” will be a fun multi-faceted (and multi-media) presentation. Ben will discuss the difference between
the DC and New Orleans music scenes, what he himself was doing pre- and post-pandemic, followed by an exploration of
New Orleans clarinetist Barney Bigard. There will be references from special source material - this is not to be missed.
Clarinetist Ben Redwine feels equally comfortable playing Brahms or Ellington. He is devoted to the performance
of new classical music and old jazz, as well as to teaching the next generation of performers and teachers.
Ben served as an Assistant Professor at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC from 2012-2016 and
was woodwind professor at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana from 2017-2019. In 2014, he retired
after 27 years in the US military band system, the majority of time serving as the e-flat clarinet soloist
with the US Naval Academy Band in Annapolis, Maryland. He has been a featured soloist at seven International
Clarinet Association ClarinetFests in the U.S. and Europe, and has performed extensively on four continents.
In 2016, he moved to the New Orleans area to pursue performance opportunities in the birthplace of jazz.
Since relocating to Louisiana, he has been a regular performer with the Louisiana Philharmonic and Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestras.
The PRJC’s online jazz talks are supported in part by funding from the Montgomery County Government and the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County.
This presentation will be held via Zoom and a link will be sent by e-mail the day of the presentation. Admission is Free!
**Please register by 5:00 p.m. the day of the event.
