Jazz on the Back Deck
Legendary singer, actor and activist, Harry Belafonte
leaves the world a musical legacy unlike anyone else's. His singular
rich baritone brought Calypso into the popular musical psyche when he
became the first single musical artist to sell over one million copies
of a record. What's more, Belafonte lent the richness of his voice and
spirit to music that is held sacred by a vast array of cultures and
ethnic groups with his landmark 1959 live recording from Carnegie Hall
that featured now iconic renditions of works like "Danny
Boy", "Shenandoah", and "Hava Nagila".
Join Amani as they celebrate and honor the rich musical
legacy of Harry Belafonte a mere three months after his death in a
concert that they have been preparing specifically for The Back Deck
for two years. Amani has built a reputation in New Jersey for great
music and fun times. Vocalist Stephen Fuller brings familiar favorites
new life backed by the jazz stylings of Amani. Amani was the first
ensemble to ever perform on The Back Deck in July 2020 and has been
featured on every subsequent season performing to sell-out
crowds.
