Join us for a special evening of jazz-inspired conversation with Carmen Fields, award-winning journalist and daughter of bandleader Ernie Fields, and renowned saxophonist Henley Douglas Jr.From the 1920s–1960s territory bands crisscrossed the United States and helped disseminate popular music. Very few made recordings, so their vital contributions to jazz music are often overlooked. The Tulsa-based Ernie Fields (1904-97) led one of the best territory bands, traveling from town to town performing jazz and swing music to countless fans. In her book, "Going Back to T-Town: The Ernie Fields Territory Big Band," Carmen Fields tells the story of her father Ernie Fields’ musical career, which began less than a decade after Tulsa’s infamous 1921 race massacre.
